Health Minister Dr Zweli Mkhize revealed on Friday that government had secured enough Covid-19 vaccines for 26-million people, so far, with more agreements in the pipeline. He revealed that China could be one of the countries that South Africa procures vaccines from. On Monday, the country received its first consignment of the Oxford/AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccines from the Serum Institute of India. Speaking to Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Health, Mkhize assured that his department would do everything possible to avoid any corruption, as South Africa prepared to start the inoculation process. Mkhize stressed that the vaccines would be free and added that there were measures in place to avoid a black market.
