South Africa will suspend use of AstraZeneca's COVID-19 shot in its vaccination programme after data showed it gave minimal protection against mild to moderate infection caused by the country's dominant coronavirus variant.

Health Minister Zweli Mkhize said on Sunday the government would await advice from scientists on how best to proceed, after disappointing results in a trial conducted by the University of the Witwatersrand. Instead, it will offer vaccines developed by Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer in the coming weeks while experts consider how the AstraZeneca shot can be deployed.

Hm

I did my research properly lisaMakT i must confess nobody handled business like you do I'm privileged to work with you, one of the best traders on here.

Don't take the mRna-it is not a vacine for people! wait for the J and J Vector- the lab rna is not going to work out- MSNBC MSNBC nypost

So they’d rather go with no vaccination and risk serious illness and death rather than slightly substandard vaccine with no hospitalisation and no deaths. Irresponsible choice.
