The Minister of Health, Manaouda Malachie informs that this figure results from a socio-anthropological study conducted in March 2021 on vaccination against Covid-19.
Vaccination against Covid-19 protects, among other things, from severe forms of the disease according to the WHO. In Cameroon, more than half of the population resists getting vaccinated.
"A March 2021 socio-anthropological study showed that the vaccine hesitancy rate in Cameroon was 60.3% in the population. 49.2% among health workers. And 36.3% among community leaders. 10 months later, this rate was cut in half." said Manaouda Malachi.
