The Health Department will, this week, aim to vaccinate at least 300-thousand people per day.

This, according to the acting Minister of Health, Mmamoloko Kubayi.

Kubayi says after the vaccine-constraints experienced last week, the country will this week have access to millions of doses of vaccines, delivered by Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson.

She says vaccine-producers have also been urged to keep to their supply-deadlines, saying that any delays severely impacts the country’s vaccination ability.
