Former Malawi Congress Party (MCP) President John Zenus Ungapake Tembo has pleaded with Malawians to ignore misconceptions surrounding COVID-19 vaccines, and get vaccinated.

Tembo, who also served as leader of opposition, said this after receiving the second jab of the Astrazeneca vaccine.

He said that he has received all the two doses of AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine, and he is in robust health.

Tembo further said that people need to disregard the false information which says that westners want to wipe out all blacks.
