South Africa began its second phase of coronavirus vaccinations on Monday after 87 sites opened their doors to vaccinate the elderly. This was after the country received 975,780 Pfizer vaccines as of Monday.
Zweli Mkhize, South Africa's health minister, said the ministry is working with the South African Security Agency in an effort to reach as many people as possible who are aged 60 and above. He also added that they would use places of worship to reach them and conduct home visits in some cases.
