"At first I wasn't comfortable getting the vaccine because of what people were saying on social media and in my community. But I saw with my own eyes that those who haven't been vaccinated are the ones getting seriously sick and dying." - Peter Gwazanga, 34, received the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine at Bwaila Hospital in Lilongwe, Malawi.In early August, Malawi received more than 300,000 doses of the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine through the global COVAX initiative. The new shipment comes as the country struggles with a rise in COVID-19 cases and weeks after the government announced it will add several vaccines to its efforts to defeat the virus. Within two weeks, by August 12, the government reported that the Ministry of Health had administered 60,020 of those doses across the country’s 28 districts.
