South Africa has begun the second phase of its public vaccination campaign, targeting people aged 60 or older. The first vaccinations were given in February to health workers. So far almost 600 000 healthcare workers and members of the public have been vaccinated.
As a result, vaccination centers are empty and on the street, Cameroonians openly express their opposition to this vaccine. This is the case of Guillaume, a believer in medicinal herbs.

Our triumph over Covid-19 through the vaccination programme could unleash an economic recovery greater than we might imagine, writes
Melene Rossouw.
There s only one way that South Africa will emerge victorious on the other side of the Covid-19 pandemic – and that s if nearly seven in every 10 people accept the invitation to be vaccinated.
The good news is that, as Phase 2 of the national vaccination programme gets under way, that target seems achievable. The latest Nids-Cram survey, published last week, shows that 71% of South Africans want the vaccine. Reaching that target can deliver considerable gains.
Besides the obvious benefit of taking the vaccine (immunity from the virus), there is another excellent potential impact: the reinvigoration of the economy, which can be sustained for years after the virus is beaten.
