SA needs aggressive vaccination drive to stem Covid19 resurgence, says DA MP

“The Department of Health has performed poorly in terms of an effective communication strategy for vaccinations. This has often been attributed to the lack of funds for communications when we know that over R150m of public money was stolen during the Digital Vibes corruption scandal. The people of SA cannot be made to pay for the ANC’s inability to keep their hands off public money meant for services,” she said.

Gwarube said in order for the country to escape the devastating effects of a full blown forth wave, government needed to make sure that enough people were vaccinated and protected from severe disease and hospitalisation.“There are millions of doses of vaccines in the country, as supply is not the issue. Therefore, much can and should still be done to rollout of the vaccine,” Gwarube said.

Nicholas Crisp, deputy director-general of the health department, told Reuters that South Africa had 16.8-million doses in stock and said deliveries had been deferred. “We have 158 days' stock in the country at current use,” a spokesperson for the health ministry said.
