Cape Town - South Africans over the age of 60 are next in line to receive the Covid-19 vaccine and can expect to receive their shot in mid-May.
Chief of Operations for Western Cape Government Health Dr Saadiq Kariem confirmed this to IOL.
“We are aiming to start with phase two mid May (starting with the over 60 yr age group) depending upon receiving the vaccine from the national department of health. At this stage we have not yet confirmed which vaccine it will be. This should also be happening around the country,” he said.

Cape Town - As the Sisonke implementation study passes the halfway mark in administering the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine to health-care workers, co-principal investigator of the study, Professor Ameena Goga, says positive results can be expected.
Close to 280 000 health-care workers have received the vaccine and Goga says they expect to reach the 500 000 mark and conclude the study by the end of April.
“It’s really looking very positive. I think the phase 3 trial set the standard and guided us as to what we should expect, and certainly so far it does seem similar.

Salim Abdool Karim: South Africa's voice of reason : New Frame

13 November 2020: Epidemiologist Salim Abdool Karim, who has led South Africa's scientific response to the Covid-19 pandemic, posing for a portrait in Durban, his home city.
Epidemiologist Salim Abdool Karim, the scientific leader of South Africa’s Covid-19 pandemic response, is amused by the common public perception of how scientific progress works. In this imagined version of the process, sombre eggheads nod gravely over each other’s infallible findings in a march of relentless consensus.
“People get worried when they hear that we disagree on some things,” he says. “‘The scientists are fighting!’ they will say. And I always say to them, listen, if the scientists don’t fight, you’re in big trouble.”
