The article highlights the politics of the Covid-19 vaccination drive in Zimbabwe. It interrogates questions of individual agency and institutional power in the administration of the vaccine. It is framed within Foucauldian scholarship, particularly that concerning the role of biopower, subjects and governmentality in the politics of vaccination. The article uses virtual ethnography to understand the politics of vaccination and contends that the vaccination drive highlights how power is played out within the Zimbabwean context. Individuals perceive their agency as constrained through explicit and implicit coercion, since vaccination is exercised through a form of governmentality that uses biopower. The article argues that the vaccination initiative presents a new form of governmentality that is premised on policing individual agency by other individuals as opposed to the dominant notions of governmentality that are shaped by political institutions.O artigo destaca a política da campanha de vacinação contra a Covid-19 no Zimbábue. Levanta questões sobre a agência individual e o poder institucional na administração da vacina. Está enquadrado nos estudos foucaultianos, particularmente no que diz respeito ao papel do biopoder, dos sujeitos e da governamentalidade nas políticas de vacinação. O artigo utiliza a etnografia virtual para compreender a política de vacinação e afirma que a campanha de vacinação põe em relevo como o poder é exercido no contexto do Zimbábue. Os indivíduos percebem a sua agência como restringida pela coerção explícita e implícita, uma vez que a vacinação é realizada através de uma forma de governamentalidade que utiliza o biopoder. O artigo argumenta que a iniciativa de vacinação apresenta uma nova forma de governamentalidade, que tem como premissa o policiamento da agência individual por outros indivíduos, em vez de ser por noções dominantes de governamentalidade que são moldadas por instituições políticas.Keywords: biopowerCovid-19governmentalityvaccinationvirtual ethnography
