SA is giving 2-million doses of Covid-19 vaccines to African countries in 2022.
The R289m gift of Johnson & Johnson vaccines produced at the Aspen Pharma plant in Gqeberha was announced on Friday by the presidency and the African Vaccination Acquisition Trust.
The trust was formed after Ramaphosa, then chairperson of the African Union , set up the African vaccination acquisition task team in November 2020, “We have already received and distributed more than 100-million doses of donated vaccines, most of which came as a result of President Ramaphosa’s tireless efforts with the richest nations like the US, EU and France,” he said.
