, according to Professor Shabir Madhi, director of the Vaccines & Infectious Diseases Analytics Research Unit at the University of the Witwatersrand. And using herd immunity – bringing absolute interruption in the chain of transmission of the virus – as a feasible target is dangerous. Madhi argues that pushing the narrative of herd immunity, amid current and future outbreaks of Covid-19 – is likely to increase vaccine hesitancy.
Health Minister Dr Joe Phaahla had met with provincial leaders and private providers on Thursday, said Crisp, and that the department was"busy writing up what was proposed." "Our target is still informed by population immunity or herd immunity, which has to be coverage of between 67% and 70% [of the adult population]," said Phaahla, adding that South Africa, which has more than enough doses and vaccination sites, could've reached the 70% target in December 2021 if only it could've convinced the population and successfully combatted vaccine hesitancy.
Of course there is no clear indication of when this will end. All the different messages being given all the time. Sowing confusion in the population is part of the divide and conquer tactic.
