Tinashe Sambiri|The MDC Alliance has castigated selfish Zanu PF bigwigs for denying frontline health workers access to Coronavirus vaccine.

The MDC Alliance argues frontline workers should be given preference in the administration of the vaccine because of their vulnerability to the deadly pandemic.

Below is MDC Alliance deputy spokesperson Clifford Hlatywayo’s statement:

The diabolic plan by the regime to prioritize themselves in the administration of the coronavirus vaccine is regrettable and unacceptable.

The vaccination programme must target medical practitioners, our soldiers in this fight against the spread of this deadly virus, the elderly, and the vulnerable.

Not to prioritize Ministers and MPs, knowing very well that they are the ones in those positions. So it means vaccine is for Zanu pf members. That selfish tendencies must not be tolerated.
Every lockdown they target the poor, majority of whom are in the informal sector. They are not allowed to move or transact their businesses.

They want to fend for their families but because the regime does not consider them as important citizens, they are always considered as enemies and second class citizens.

Government workers including teachers and other critical sectors who play a very crucial role in society are neglected and also considered as second class.
The first priority of the vaccine should be the frontline staff, elderly and those with co-morbidities.
