Some have said natural immunity after Covid-19 is just as good as a vaccine. The evidence, however, suggests otherwise and shows that those with natural immunity are twice more likely to be infected with Covid-19 than those vaccinated.

According to departmental spokesperson Foster Mohale, 1,000 pop-up vaccination sites were set up at voting stations across the country and more than 63,000 people received the jab.
“The purpose was to bring vaccination services closer to the people, as they go to cast their votes, as part of our efforts to ramp up vaccinations,” said Mohale. DM
