With Covid-19 vaccines unpaused, South Africa just surpassed 300,000 doses delivered.
That comes to about half a dose of coronavirus vaccine administered per resident.
In regional terms, South Africa is last – by a long way – in the speed of its vaccine rollout.
It is also significantly slower than other countries on the continent, and its BRICS peers.
A growing number of small island states have delivered at least one dose, on average, to each person within its borders.
