21 April 2022 - NW1176
Chirwa, Ms NN to ask the Minister of Health
What (a) total number and (b) percentage of healthcare workers have (i) been vaccinated and (ii) not been vaccinated as at the latest date for which information is available?
Reply:
NDoH only has an accredited register of public service health care workers (HCWs) to use for determining the percentage of HCWs vaccinated/not vaccinated. The response therefore only reflects detail about public HCWs vaccinations as on 7 April 2022.
