SA vaccination rollout suffers setback due to violence

Most private and some public vaccination sites have closed in Gauteng and Kwa-Zulu Natal. This is due to ongoing unrest and looting.

Many shops and businesses have also shut their doors with people fearing for their lives.

“It is difficult now to continue with the vaccinations in some of our communities,” said Gauteng premier David Makhura.
