CAPE TOWN - Treasury wants to tap into its contingency reserves to help fund the country’s COVID-19 vaccination programme.
The National Health Department aims to vaccinate about 14 million South Africans this year although, given several setbacks, this is unlikely.
Treasury Director-General Dondo Mogajane said that the R4.3 billion budgeted for vaccines may not be enough.
“The contingency reserve money that we have put in will kick in if there is a need to. We have set aside R4.3 billion when we put the budget together.”
