"Findings from the most recent Afrobarometer survey in Zimbabwe show that about half of citizens are reluctant to take the vaccine, an attitude that is particularly prevalent among the most highly educated and among supporters of the opposition MDC-Chamisa party. Fewer than half of adults trust the government on two critical issues: its statistics on COVID-19 infections and deaths, and its ability to ensure that COVID-19 vaccines are safe. As misinformation about vaccines continues to circulate on social media, survey findings suggest that vaccine hesitancy is particularly high among citizens who don’t trust the government to ensure vaccine safety and those who use social media as a regular news source."
