According to Team Pachedu, a group of Zimbabwean citizens who strive to promulgate the culture of transparency, responsibility and accountability without fear or favour, the health worker suffered a stroke few hours after being vaccinated.

The group, which boasts a huge following, urged the Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe (MCAZ) to investigate the death.

The MCAZ is responsible for protecting public and animal health by ensuring the safety of accessible medicines and allied substances.
