Millions of people were left stranded as their socio-economic, cultural, religious and political life got affected by lockdowns and restrictions on peoples’ movement. The bruises of Coronavirus did not spare the Christian communities as they were equally affected by the novel disease. Various theories and strategies by radical Christians were thrown in the fray to try and resist the COVID-19 vaccine. Some Christians in Zimbabwe linked the vaccination to the satanic mark of the beast or the end of the world as prophesied in the book of Revelation and Daniel. In this paper we used interviews, secondary literature and Focus Group Discussions (FDGs) to come up with a holistic engagement of how Evangelical/Pentecostal and to some extent Apostolic White Garment Christians understood the COVID-19 vaccine.engCOVID-19 VirusVaccinationPentecostalCharismaticZimbabwe Christians230COVID-19 Vaccination and the Zimbabwe Christian (Evangelical/Pentecostal and Apostolic Sects) Communitybookpart
