Mkhize says between now and June the country should have received six million doses. He says government is trying to get more vaccines but because of the delays, the deliveries will be received later in the year. Mkhize says they are hoping to vaccinate 16-million people countrywide in the second phase of the #COVID-19 #vaccination programme.
