Prof Barry Schoub, head of the ministerial advisory committee (MAC) on vaccines, has lashed out at other experts who said the country should have gone ahead with the rollout of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
In a strongly worded editorial in the
South African Medical Journal, he said rolling out a vaccine with such poor efficacy would drain much-needed resources, break public trust, and create a potential threat or further “escape variants” of the virus that causes Covid-19.
In a previous edition of the SAMJ, Prof Francois Venter, from Wits University’s faculty of health sciences, and other experts had berated the MAC on vaccines, accusing them of a lack of transparency.

John Maytham talks to Francois Venter about having more than one vaccine for Covid-19.
What would happen, for example, if you mixed doses of Covid-19 vaccines such as Pfizer and AstraZeneca?

A UK trial has been launched with the idea to also provide more flexibility with vaccine rollout and help deal with any potential disruption to supplies.
