EFF MP Mbuyiseni Ndlozi was one of many who reacted to the news that SA will be receiving a million doses of Covid-19 vaccine this month and 500,000 doses in February from the Serum Institute of India (SII).
On Thursday, while addressing the portfolio committee on health on the country's Covid-19 vaccine programme, health minister Zweli Mkhize announced that the first delivery of vaccines will be for front-line workers.
“Today, I am pleased to announce that the SII has given us permission to make a public announcement and start engaging with all relevant stakeholders in preparation for the rollout,” said Mkhize.
