South Africa’s vaccine rollout programme is struggling to get off the ground, despite plans for its start on Monday, 17 May.
According to the City Press, the programme has experienced low registration rates in the target group – those aged 60 and over, or with comorbidities – while those who have registered have not yet received any information on what to do.
The second phase of the rollout is scheduled to start on Monday, with the government targetting approximately 16.6 million vaccinations over six months, or 100,000 vaccinations each day.
However, the first phase of the rollout is still not complete. The Sisonke academic study has so far vaccinated close to its 500,000 target, but the remainder of healthcare workers still need to be given the jab – around 500,000 people, to meet government’s initial target of one million.
