Sahpra says applications for the Chinese manufactured CoronaVac and the Russian Sputnik V Covid-19 vaccines have been received and were currently under review.

Semete-Makokotlela said they had fast-tracked all Covid-19 product reviews and, like other countries, approved products on an emergency-use basis with product specific requirements for ongoing monitoring.

When an applicant submits their respective dossiers, the regulator works closely with the applicant in evaluating the data. Thus, there is no decision on, for example, Sinopharm and Moderna vaccines – which have a WHO emergency-use listing – as there have not been any applications for these inSemete-Makokotlela said, in considering whether or not a vaccine introduced into South Africa was likely to be effective, they take into account the local epidemiology, and specifically which SARS-CoV-2 variants were circulating in the country.
