South African health minister Zweli Mkhize said on Sunday that the government was committed to rolling out vaccines with urgency to establish herd immunity against Covid-19.
 
Speaking during a virtual public briefing, outlining the Department of Health's Covid-19 vaccine rollout strategy, he said they had to be made available to all South Africans, starting with the most vulnerable and health workers.
 
 He said that over 40 million citizens will receive the vaccine in 2021, and that frontline workers and vulnerable groups will be first in line to get their jab.
