Members of the public complained of disorganisation at health centres as people turned out in their hundreds for the covid19 vaccine on Wednesday.
Vaccination sites began accepting walk-ins on Wednesday for the Sinopharm vaccine for certain categories of people, but were overwhelmed by the numbers.
