Last time the health department was only able to vaccinate almost 400,000 people, failing to meet its half a million target.

A medical worker administers a dose of the"Comirnaty" Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus disease vaccine to a patient at a vaccination center in Saint-Nazaire, France, on November 9, 2021.Healthcare workers lined up slowly this week for a booster shot of the J&J Covid-19 vaccine, with about 6,000 getting a second dose of the vaccine after it became available, said Prof Glenda Gray on Friday.

The Sisonke 2 study, led by Gray and Prof Linda-Gail Bekker, from Wednesday offered healthcare workers a booster shot of the J&J vaccine ahead of a fourth wave predicted for summer. Two doses of the J&J vaccine given 56 days apart gives 100% protection against death and severe Covid-19, and 75% against symptomatic Covid-19, the results of the Ensemble 2 clinical trial found.

FW de Klerk | Legacy of last apartheid presidentMany South Africans have mixed feelings about FW de Klerk. The last apartheid leader passed away at the age of 85 following a battle with asbestos cancer. Everyone would have their opinion, but remember De Klerk hasn't apologized for apartheid, he just apologized for the pain and suffering people endured under it. In other words there's still the possibility that he didn't think apartheid was bad at all,it just had some bad results They make it as if it was a favour, I hate that Some countries explore space and build things for the future.
