South Africa missed first payment window to join Covax, a global vaccine access initiative

South Africa is yet to make an estimated R500-million payment to an international initiative designed to secure equitable access to Covid-19 vaccines for middle- and low-income countries. Head of health regulation and compliance as well as former acting director-general for the Department of Health Dr Anban Pillay confirmed on Wednesday the payment was yet to be made as the department was awaiting a range of approvals from National Treasury.
