Cabinet has welcomed the recommendation by the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) regarding the lifting of the temporary pause placed on the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) Sisonke Vaccination Programme, but did not immediately announce an end to the suspension following its Wednesday meeting, which was also the first physical meeting of Cabinet since the introduction of the Covid-19 lockdown in 2020. Acting Minister in The Presidency, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, confirmed on Thursday that Cabinet had left it to Health Minister Dr Zweli Mkhize to announce the actual recommencement details, which would be made “as soon as the health department is ready with all the systems.”
