South Africa targets 300 000 vaccinations daily

SOUTH Africa aims to do at least 300,000 COVID-19 vaccinations a day by the end of August, senior health official Nicholas Crisp said.

He added that the country had around 3.6 million vaccine doses in stock, enough for around 18 days of vaccinations. 

SA also announced plans to start vaccinating people aged between 35 and 49 years old against COVID-19 from August 1.  Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane added at a news conference that indications were that the number of COVID-19 cases in the most populous province, Gauteng, was peaking. Gauteng has been responsible for the lion’s share of infections during a severe “third wave”.
