Mozambique: president Nyusi warns against fake vaccination cards

Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi denounced the sale of cards proving vaccination against Covid-19. He said the action “endangers the health and life of all”.

President Nyusi urged the public to be vigilant.

“We want to draw attention, once again, to regret the situation of buying and selling vaccination cards. This type of conduct has no other name than this: It is a crime. More than a forgery,” he said in a national address.

The health ministry urged people to turn up for mass vaccination as coronavirus cases in the country increase.
