Covid-19 vaccine essential to end economic devastation – Solidarity Fund CEO

Solidarity Fund CEO Tandi Nzimande said the speedy roll-out of the Covid-19 vaccine was vital to end the devastation that the virus has caused, adding that the Solidarity Fund would ensure that the country receives its equitable share of the vaccine when it becomes available. On Thursday, the Fund released its Impact Report, where Nzimande expressed the Fund’s pride in being able to support government’s efforts to accelerate the roll out of vaccines in South Africa with a donation of R327-million to secure the country’s position in the COVAX programme, a global initiative aimed at working with vaccine manufacturers to provide countries worldwide equitable access to safe and effective vaccines, once they are licensed and approved.
