Billion-doses mark is lopsided with only 21% of population having had just one shot

Neighbouring China, the only nation to dish out more vaccine doses than India, has fully inoculated some 1.05-billion, or 75% of its citizens, up to late September. “Adherence was noted to be an issue in all two-dose clinical trials run in India,” said Bhramar Mukherjee, a professor at the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health. “So the widening gap is due to both the spacing between two doses and non-adherence.”

Government officials have been following up with people about their second shot, but it can be difficult to make them return as well as to convince those who are hesitant, said Wahl. “The further progress you make, the more challenging it is to get higher and higher levels of coverage.”

Conversations related to Covid-19 on social media driven by conspiracy theories and vaccine hesitancyFringe conspiracy theorists still continue to drive a significant amount of anti-vaccination rhetoric, followed by posts on vaccine hesitancy and vaccine scepticism. What is a conspiracy theory? Is it anything not reported by mainstream media? It’s not hesitancy, it’s straight out REFUSAL. Stop undermining our intelligence. ANC puppet government sold people of this country to be lab rats. They are conspiring with technocrats to build a new digital slave system that is going to tamper with our biology. All patients I have seen sleep alone on the bed when others are not there,who were initialy there, incl smokers,unvaccinated etc

EFF not surprised at regulatory authority’s rejection of Sputnik V vaccine for emergency useEFF says profits matter more than saving lives. Yep it seems SAHPRA is in the pocket of Big Pharma in the west. The Russian vaccine was found to be ok in an article in the Lancet but not good enough for SA. What is Pfizer and JnJ paying the folks who make these decisions But they demanded that this regulator pass Sputnik V.. can we just not make an exception here for the EFFSouthAfrica 🙏 This vaccine is scaring us. I am no longer advocating for its usage.
