Panel 8
Storyboard Text
- Good morning and thank you for having me. The community is very hesitant on taking the vaccine. I have observed that majority of them have a lot of fears associated with healthcare services. They have been disappointed in the past with lack of access to proper health care so they have lost a lot of trust in the system. Many of them worry that this vaccine may not be accessible to them, they worry about costs, as they have to travel a distance to get to a good hospital. They have been promised a lot and they are still yet to have access to some basic health services. They complain about lack of health insurance, lack of preventative care access, limited vaccination sites in some areas and inadequate access to transportation to reach closer sites. They have no trust in the system so they don’t trust some of the information we give to them about the vaccine.
- Good morning Mr Ndlovu, thank you for agreeing to participate in our interview today. As a community health care worker, what would you say is the community’s view on getting vaccinated against the virus?
- Mr Timbiya, thank you for meeting with me today. Tell me, what are your views on this new vaccine that is to be introduced to the community for this outbreak? How does that affect your tribe?
- Thank you for having me. As one of the leaders of the Obijwe tribe, we pride ourselves in the use of natural medicine. We don’t believe in western medicine. People have died while they were in hospital being treated by doctors, our people have lived longer while getting treated at home with medication from nature. We believe in the God of the soil and our bodies are the temple, we do not use any Western medication that has not been created from natural sources. For all we know this could be the mark of the beast, we could be scarred for life and not be accepted by the tribe of our ancestors when we die.
