"We received over 40,000 doses of Johnson & Johnson on Saturday. We are bringing the batches more frequently to avoid being without stock," she indicated. SA had administered 145,215 vaccine doses as of Saturday. The goal is to inoculate as many healthcare workers as possible during the first phase of the government's vaccination programme. Government has increased the number of vaccination sites with more private hospitals added as the country prepares for the second phase of inoculation.
