The letter made the rounds on social media on Tuesday and sparked wide-ranging criticism and outrage as scores questioned the preference of politicians.“I have consistently maintained I will vaccinate when my age group is opened. This is the stance by many of my colleagues,” the minister said about the circular that acknowledges that some recipients fall outside the vaccine rollout eligibility criteria.
It lists, among others ministers, deputy ministers, premiers and MECs and their direct staff and people travelling abroad for work and business purposes. This was not Authorised by IMC on Vaccine which is the final decider on target population. I have consistently maintained that I will vaccinate when my age group population is opened, this the stance by many of my colleagues. The circular has been withdrawn 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
