The second batch of 500,000 will come in February as government begins rolling out its plans to vaccinate 40 million citizens over the next 12 months.

And on the advent of the country receiving expensive vaccines, concerns are high that a repeat of the corruption could impact the success of the vaccine.

Contracted vaccine suppliers will be responsible for storing and distributing the vaccine. The distribution would involve direct delivery to identified vaccine administration sites.All vehicles the vaccines will be traveling in must be tracked and monitored by central and/or contract distributors, the department said.

All citizens who receive the vaccine must receive some sort of confirmation. The health department said the South Africa Healthcare Products Regulatory Authority would be implementing the Yellow Vaccine Card System to include the Covid-19 vaccine. This will be done either through occupational health centres or services at the hospital, or via vaccinators who will receive vials delivered directly to the hospital.
