SEEDCO Company has donated 2 500 sinopharm doses to vaccinate Agritex staff against COVID-19 amid the novel pandemic.Since the beginning of the pandemic last year, the company has bent backwards and forth in working hands in gloves with the government and other organizations to curb the spread of the pandemic. Apart from donating COVID-19 consignments to various hospitals, the company has now partnered with Cimas Medical Aid Society to pool resources for the vaccination campaign.
July Moyo, the local government minister received the donation together with the Lands and Agriculture Minister Anxious Masuka at SeedCo’s Stapleford depot in Harare. He acknowledged that the vaccine would go a long way in safeguarding Agritex officers and farmers who regularly engage in face to face interaction.
While commenting, Moyo said: “I am so pleased that more than 98% of the Seed Co employees and their families have been vaccinated. Other companies should follow suit. Seed Co has also assisted several journalists to get vaccinated.”
