Questions over SA's COVID-19 vaccine plan

When is government securing a COVID-19 vaccine? It’s a question we’re all asking, especially since other countries are already rolling it out. South Africa missed the deadline to pay the deposit to secure COVAX vaccine supplies. The Deputy DG agreed to speak to us on The Lead about this, but pulled out at the 11th hour, saying the health minister will issue a statement on this later on Friday. So when does the vaccine become available in South Africa? And what’s the approval process? Several coronavirus vaccine candidates are being evaluated by the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority. The chair Helen Rees speaks on this. Courtesy #DStv403
