'All provinces are in trouble,' health department tells parliament

The department said it expected to cross the two million vaccination mark on Thursday. It had aimed to vaccinate all the over 60s by the end of June but due to the vaccine hiccups, the department found itself two million vaccines behind. This was caused by the recent contamination of two million doses of the J&J vaccines stored in Gqeberha.

Shaik Emam asked if any healthcare workers had died after getting the vaccine. “Why have we not been concentrating on Sinovac, Sputnik and other vaccines which have been offered for free? I don’t blame the EFF for breaking regulations because on one hand you say the election must go on and on the other hand you say no gatherings.”“We have seen that the president placed us on level three to curb the further spread of the virus.

Responding, Kubayi-Ngubane said the matter of law enforcement was raised during the national coronavirus command council meetings.“There have been two applications, the first being Sinovac. Progress has been made and the team has done extensive work and Sahpra has received a report. The report to one company has been given back and they have fixed their issues that needed to be fixed, so we look like we are almost at the end of the process, where there is not much progress in regards to Sputnik.

Buthelezi also clarified the matter over allegations that the government turned away a donation of Sputnik vaccines. “We have never received this donation, we have checked all over and checked with the Russian Development co-operation, we are not sure where the media got this information from.”
