A total of 352 workers have now been vaccinated at Luxaflor Roses, a 22-hectare rose farm in the Zimbabwean town Concession. They organized a vaccination program for their workers, who received their first dose on the July 14 and 15 2021, and will receive their second dose on August 16.
Roelof Nugteren of Luxaflor Roses explains: “The workers were very positive about the vaccinations, since the number of COVID cases has been going up in the country. We have also managed to reduce the in and out flow of our workers to try and minimize the movement and spread of COVID-19.
