South Africa has plenty of unused vaccine. This is clear from government information about vaccine deliveries and vaccination rates. As of 20 July, just over one million people had been vaccinated with the J&J vaccine (almost half of whom had been vaccinated in the earlier Sisonke trial, that is prior to the national rollout). This implies that there are almost one million (980,000) doses of the J&J vaccine sitting unused and available somewhere in South Africa. At the average pace of vaccination over the past two weeks, we could continue vaccinating for three months before running out of Johnson and Johnson vaccine.

Staying alive: Leveraging storytelling to tackle vaccin...

It feels as if death is hanging in the air like a nasty stench. That is the existential dread that the third wave of Covid-19 has saddled us with.
Every time my phone rings, I wonder if I will get yet another call about a friend, relative or colleague who is gasping for air. I found myself almost behaving mechanically yesterday as I typed the words “My deepest condolences…” on WhatsApp in response to a friend’s loss that had been sponsored by Covid-19.
With the real death toll associated with Covid-19 probably more than 176,000 by now (a figure based on a weekly analysis of excess deaths by the Medical Research Council), the impact of this pandemic on our lives is deeper than official numbers would have us believe. And this is not to include our neglected psychosocial well-being. If there was a way to measure what is happening to the population in terms of mental health, many of us would not only be physically precarious but also psychologically stretched.

Here's why some people are sceptical about Covid-19 vaccines

Emily Mohapi, 99, was one of the first people from the area to receive a vaccine. She was initially afraid but put on a brave face and was accompanied by Xezwi.
“I was scared because people used to say you die if you get vaccinated. I am now telling others that they said you die but I am still alive. I am thankful that he took me to the vaccination site,” she said.
Mohapi said she felt no pain while being vaccinated.
Xezwi said having registered for the vaccination, Mohapi did not get a confirmation SMS to go and get the jab and that was a problem that others faced. “The system on its own is troubling,” he said.

Covid-19 vaccination programme discriminates against the poor - research

A research project by the University of Johannesburg has found that the Covid-19 vaccination programme discriminates against the poor. (SAgovnews via Twitter)
A research project by the University of Johannesburg has found that the Covid-19 vaccination programme discriminates against the poor.
The research found that people in informal settlements do not have money to travel to get vaccinated or adequate access to register for the vaccination.
The research project took place in Protea South.
The way the Covid-19 vaccination programme for the elderly is administrated in South Africa discriminates against the impoverished.
This formed part of the findings by the University of Johannesburg's Social Change unit, which led a research project in Protea South, Johannesburg.
