#HTNumberTheory | The current pace needs to increase to meet the December 31 deadline
India’s adult population, as on March 1, is 940 million. This means that 65% of the adult population has not received even one dose of vaccines until now. #CovidVaccine

3. When do the jabs expire?
@healthza says = 11 August (the FDA and Sahpra have approved an extension from 28 June to 11 August), but the aim is to try and vaccinate school staff within 10 days.

[Thread] 1. SUNDAY #VaccineRolloutSA figures:
* Total #Pfizer doses by end of Sun: 490 680 (everyone still needs a 2nd shot, 42 days after the 1st one)
* Pfizer doses given on Sun: 2 129
* Pfizer doses from 24 May (Mo) - 30 May (Su): 318 820 (vs. the previous week's 171 860)
* Total #Pfizer doses by end of Sun: 490 680 (everyone still needs a 2nd shot, 42 days after the 1st one)
* Pfizer doses given on Sun: 2 129
* Pfizer doses from 24 May (Mo) - 30 May (Su): 318 820 (vs. the previous week's 171 860)
2. What's the total number of #CovidVaccinations we've done so far?
* #Pfizer: 490 680 (these people aren't fully vaccinated, they still need second shots)
* #JandJ (via #Sisonke): 479 768 (these #HealthWorkers are fully vaccinated)
* Total nr of Pfizer and J&J shots: 970 448
* #Pfizer: 490 680 (these people aren't fully vaccinated, they still need second shots)
* #JandJ (via #Sisonke): 479 768 (these #HealthWorkers are fully vaccinated)
* Total nr of Pfizer and J&J shots: 970 448
[Thread]. 1. How many #CovidVaccine doses has #VaccineRolloutSA administered so far?
1. 480 665 (#Sisonke, #JandJ) + 77 505 (Phase1B and #Phase2, #Pfizer) = 558 170
2. NB: For Pfizer the 77 505 are just the 1st of 2 doses, so those people have not yet been fully vaccinated.
1. 480 665 (#Sisonke, #JandJ) + 77 505 (Phase1B and #Phase2, #Pfizer) = 558 170
2. NB: For Pfizer the 77 505 are just the 1st of 2 doses, so those people have not yet been fully vaccinated.
2. The number of people getting their 1st #Pfizer dose today = 38 134. That means in one day (Wed) we vaccinated as many people as in the previous two days (Mon + Tu = 39 371), so we're picking up speed.
3. The total number of #Sisonke #CovidVaccinations has increased by 897 (from 479 768 to 480 665), probably because of final vaccination data that was coming in after the trial had ended.
On #FaceTheNation, Trump's #WarpSpeed chief Moncef Slaoui now trying to claim credit for @POTUS @JoeBiden's success w/ #COVID19vaccinations.
Reminder: Trump wanted much lower $$ for #vaccines R&D. Congress went higher with $8.3B/rejected Trump's $2.5B.

Another reminder: Trump had no idea #NIH & $MRNA had started on a #COVID19 vaccine in mid-January 2020 based on research funded by the @BarackObama administration.

Trump himself claims he first heard of #coronavirus in late January.

Also, NIH & U.S. companies were long into #COVID19 #vaccines R&D before Moncef Slaoui came on the scene with Operation #WarpSpeed.

[Thread] 1. How many #HealthWorkers has SA vaccinated so far with the 80 000 Johnson & Johnson #CovidVaccinations that arrived this week? By the end of Saturday, 21 Feb, 10 000, according to the health department (there are 1.25 million workers, so many more to go).
2. So how are the #Covid jabs split between the private and public sector? 70% goes to the public sector and 30% to the private sector.
3. If you work in the private healthcare sector, you have to get your jab at one of the public hospital vaccinated sites for now. You can find one of the 18 operating sites here (they will be expanded to include private sites as we get more vaccines): tabsoft.co/2OCkrWI
