Health minister Zweli Mkhize hosted a public briefing on Wednesday morning to address the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine’s lack of effectiveness against the 501Y.V2 Covid-19 variant.

He said the department will continue with the planned phase 1 vaccination rollout using the Johnson & Johnson vaccine instead of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.

“The J&J vaccine has proved to be effective against the 501Y.V2 variant and the necessary approval processes for use in SA are in progress,” said Mkhize. He said the nationwide phase 1 vaccine rollout is expected to start next week, with the exact date to be announced by cabinet.
