Here at home, South Africa's long-awaited COVID-19 vaccination programme kicked off in Khayelitsha outside Cape Town today. Now COVAX, which is led by the World Health Organization, Gavi the Vaccine Alliance and The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, is expected to ship about 90 million COVID-19 vaccine doses to the African continent this month. This will see the continent embark on the largest ever mass vaccination campaign.
