Health Executive Director, Ben Nangombe says the footprint of critical service providers to be inoculated against COVID-19 will soon expand. Nangombe's comment comes after a petrol attendant who asked to remain anonymous raised concern with the NBC on why they are not included in those who are receiving the vaccine. The petrol attendant says that at the outbreak of the pandemic, they were considered as critical service providers who worked throughout the various levels of lockdown. The worker, who is based in Windhoek, says it is important that they too be considered as critical frontline workers now that the vaccine is being rolled out. Nangombe informed NBC News that the concern raised is indeed valid. He says petrol attendants, public transport operators, such as taxi drivers should form part of the demographic who are receiving the vaccination. He indicated that the exclusion of such workers has been an oversight and stated that the nature of the work being done by such workers should put them in the priority group. Currently, medical staff and the security cluster. The vaccinations are being done in the Khomas and Erongo regions.
