The headline on Reuters the other day read ‘SA plans to vaccinate 200 000 people per day from ‘around May’. Around May, is again simply too late and too vague to be of any use really. Health minister Zweli Mkhize’s advisers have recommended the reintroduction of tighter restrictions on alcohol sales and public gatherings to try to avoid a devastating new Covid-19 wave that could see hospital admissions up to a quarter higher than the previous surge. Experts fear that the slow pace of SA’s vaccine rollout, the dominance of the new and highly transmissible variant 501Y.V2, and the arrival of cooler weather are set to combine to potentially deadly effect. To find out what is going on with the vaccine rollout Michael Avery spoke to Stavros Nicolaou head of the health working group for B4SA; and Professor Alex van den Heever, chair in the field of Social Security Systems Administration and Management Studies at the Wit's School of Governance.
