“…Scaling up and implementation of COVID-19 vaccination programs have received much attention in most low and middle-income countries like Zambia. The Republic of Zambia, through the Ministry of Health, officially launched its COVID-19 vaccination campaign on 14 April 2021, after receiving the first consignment of 228,000 doses of the vaccines from the COVAX facility, a global initiative representing a partnership among the World Health Organization, the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization, UNICEF and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, working on the equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines [5]. Despite the huge efforts made towards achieving a successful COVID-19 vaccination campaign in Zambia, the country remained with the lowest vaccination rate among the eligible population with only 25,644 individuals fully vaccinated as of 9 October 2022, which translated into 5.4% of the total eligible population [9].…”
