Aim for 67% of population. First HCWs, then elderly and those with co-morbidities.
Mainly COVAX. Balance of funds being secured from govt. when 'COVAX delivers'.

1 week ago: "...with growing concern that medical aids & the private sector will snap up available Covid-19 vaccines for SA, the HJI is now considering legal action ...(re) plans to ensure equitable access to the vaccine" @HealthJusticeIn

@SAHPRA1 will probably have to seriously consider *conditional registration* to cater for national equity, and expedite dossier reviews...
Make no mistake, rich countries pre-bought millions of dosages (via APAs) & drug companies are (mostly) refusing to pool technology/share vaccine know-how/pledge fair pricing beyond June 2021.

This is self-created scarcity.

Hence, compulsory licensing, now. The time has come.

COVAX limitations aside, @SolidarityRSA is now involved in vaccine$ matters? It is not a public body, not @COVID_19_ZA and has no real oversight. They briefed @ParliamentofRSA but not sure if @AuditorGen_SA is overseeing public funds/ purpose/spend/procurement.

Please, #COVAX IS NOT THE SOLUTION TO THE WORLDS VACCINE ACCESS & EQUITY PROBLEM, IN MANY CASES, IT IS WORSENING IT. A POKER GAME. WITH $ CHIPS.

IT *LEAVES* POWER WITH PHRMA AND BUSINESS.

Where is the power...? Where the people are not.

Critical issue for the public to appreciate is that #COVAX is not an elected global institution, it is voluntary- a voluntary pooling mechanism that lets you in if you have money & willing to accept patent rights claims, & gives some charity dosages for those deemed very poor.
