These doses are due to stay in a secure, cold-chain management facility in Johannesburg while awaiting further test results conducted by the National Control Laboratory. Authorisation is expected to be granted between 12 and 16 February, at which time the doses will be delivered to provinces. In the meantime, government is finalising its provincial distribution model which is likely to see the doses kept in a central vaccine centre for each province.
