It’s your last shot at getting a Pfizer vaccine

According to the health department, SA has received a total of 60,606,060 Covid vaccines — 39,272,220 Pfizer doses and 21,333,840 J&J doses .

In the provinces, jabs are stored at various venues — provincial warehouses , pharmacies at hospitals, and clinics and private pharmacies , from where they are distributed to vaccination sites. Wastage is the highest in the Northern Cape , where cold-chain storage is a challenge and jabs have to be transported for long distances to sites. The second-highest wastage is in the Western Cape . More Pfizer than J&J shots have gone to waste, as most doses administered in the country are Pfizer jabs and Pfizer has more complicated cold chain requirements than J&J.because they are biologically more stable and have less stringent temperature storage requirements.
