Rwanda has resumed its countrywide Covid-19 vaccination campaign, including encouraging citizens to get booster shots, amid a spike of infections.

The spike in Covid-19 infections has also propelled Rwanda to cut down the waiting time required to get the booster shot from six months to three months after receiving the second dose.
