The Health Department insists it's doing every possible to secure a COVID-19 vaccine for South Africa. Despite that, it looks like we'll only get the life-saving shots in April next year. Close to 28,000 people have died of the virus in South Africa and that number continues to grow at an alarming rate. When pushed about why it's taking so long, the department's deputy director general says at the time, COVAX seemed to be the best option. Anban Pillay also says talks to secure the vaccine through Pfizer are ongoing but don't look promising. The Pfizer vaccine is currently being rolled out across the world.
