Countries receiving donations of Covid-19 vaccines told they could use the shots up to July 13

22 April 2021 - 17:49The AU’s disease control body and World Health Organisation on Thursday urged African countries not to waste Covid-19 vaccines donated to them, after confusion in Malawi and South Sudan about whether doses they received had expired.

South Sudan has set aside 59,000 doses supplied by the AU and is not using them because of the same expiry issue, a government official told Reuters last week. “My understanding is that the expiry date could be several months longer than had initially been envisaged. But we will look for the definitive information,” she said.

Vaccine vacations are fast gaining momentum - but South Africans have limited accessSA's vaccine roll-out is slow compared to other countries. This coupled with the travel restrictions imposed on South Africa may restrict South Africans from getting vaccinated elsewhere. IOLTravel COVID19 Travel Sad that the govt does not realize that the quicker the country gets vaccinated the quicker tourism can open and the economy can prosper but clearly they not that concerned

Alan Winde: Western Cape will continue its own vaccine procurementPremier Alan Winde said it is embarrassing that multiple other African countries have vaccinated more people than South Africa, as he reiterated his ongoing plan to procure additional vaccines for the Western Cape. Maybe SA would have vaccinated half its population by now if citizens of those same damn African countries weren't invading SA in their millions by country, with the blessing of the likes of the Democratic Alliance. Makathule lo! Vaccinations: we aren’t doing great, but we are way way ahead of the global average for lower income countries. UN reports that so far: ⁃1 in 4 people (high income countries) versus ⁃1 in 500 (low income countries) are vaccinated. (SA at 1 in 160) It's also embarrass to see success of your neighbor as an embarrassment.
