Ingcwethi kwezempilakahle zikhuthaza uzulu ukuba emukele uhlelo lokuhlatshwa ijekiseni yokuzivikela kumkhuhlane weCOVID - 19 kanye lokulandela iziqondiso ezabekwa ngabenhlanganiso yezempilakahle emhlabeni jikelele, eye World Health Organisation lohulumende. Lesi sixwayiso siza ngesikhathi kusobala elizweni ukuba abantu abanengi kabala themba lejekiseni leCOVID-19 Vaccine, ngoba beqhubeka bebalutshwana abalihlatshwayo.
Lezi ngcwethi zithi kulokwesabela ukuba lingabe lisiza elinye igagasi lesithathu lolaka lomkhuhlane lo, elingaba yingozi ephindiweyo.
UProfessor Elopy Nimele Sibanda osewahlatshwayo ijekiseni leSinopharm Vaccine, uthi kunengi okukhulunywa ngabantu ngale ijekiseni osokusenza inengi lithandabuze.
“I Wave inye layinye, itshiya umkhukhuzela wayo phansi njalo iWave ingaba nkulu eyesibili, umkhukhuzela lowana lawo uba mkhulu njalo siyesaba ukuthi iThird Wave le ezabuya, asifaniseli, ezabuya, iyabe iworse kulalokho esiphuma kikho ngoDecember. Njalo ithuba esilalo loneli ukuthi khathesi kulethuba lokuthi umuntu angacatshwa iVaccine, asilisebenzise kuhle ukwenzela ukuthi singabi lohlupho lokuthi siyabuye sigijime futhi sidinga amaoxygene, sigcwalisa izibhedlela, silahlekelwa yizihlobo.”
Uxwayisa uzulu uSibanda ukuba engathikazi ukuyalihlatshwa lelijekiseni lapho ixetsha selifikile.
“Okwakuqala kuthiwa yi Risk Perception, ukuthi umuntu uyakwazi yini ukuthi yena uvele evikelwe yini, uledlozi yini elimvikelayo kuCOVID?. Nxa ulalo, hayi yekela, nxa ungeladlozi elikuvikela kuCOVID, hlatshwa. Ngoba khathesi nje simelele ukuthi ithird Wave isizaqalisa nje, iyakhwela futhi, amanumber ayakhwela, abantu bazaqalisa futhi ukugula. Nxa sekugulwa abantu kulapho abagijimela khona ukuyahlatshwa endaweni yokuthi bahle bahlatshwe isikhathi sakhona singakafiki, benqabele umkhuhlane lo kulokuthi beyedinga ukuthi belatshwe.”
Kwasekelwa njalo ngenye ingcwethi, uDokotela Henry Madzorera owake waba ngumphathintambo wezempilakahle kuhulumende womanyano.
“Ingozi ezakuba khona nxa abantu bengasahlatshwana lelijekiseni, yikuba uzulu uzokwala engengavikelekanga. Kungangcono ngihlatshwe mina, kulokuhlala nje ngingavikelekanga. ”
