"Fundamentally, there was no agreement over the issue of vaccination," said Takavafira Zhou, president of Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe. "Our position as workers has always remained that we encourage our members to be vaccinated. But by no means should our encouragement be misconstrued for mandatory vaccination. Our position is very clear: vaccination must be voluntary. Not mandatory. We must invest in the efficacy of vaccination — explaining to members how vaccination would assist them in terms of boosting their immunity but that has not been done."
Perezida w'ishyirahamwe ry'abarimu bateye imbere muri Zimbabwe, Takavafira Zhou yagize ati: "Muri rusange, nta masezerano yari afite ku kibazo cyo gukingira." "Umwanya dufite nk'abakozi ntago wahindutse, ubwo rero turashishikariza abanyamuryango bacu gukingirwa. Ariko ntago twifuza ko imikorere yacu igomba kunengwa kugeza ubwo haboneka abantu bakingirwa ku gahato. Inshingsno dufite zirasobanutse neza: gukingirwa bigomba kuba ku bushake. Ntabwo ari itegeko. Twagombaga  gushora imari mu bikorwa cyo gukingira - gusobanurira abanyamuryango uburyo inkingo zabafasha mu rwego rwo kongera ubudahangarwa bwabo. "
