A South African business lobby group called on Monday for the government to shift the emphasis on its vaccine programme to target the elderly and vulnerable sooner, to prevent hospitals being overrun in a third wave of Covid-19 infections.

SA is behind schedule in the first phase of its vaccination programme, aimed at inoculating health care workers. Those over 60 or with co-morbidities are not meant to be vaccinated until a later second phase, along with other essential workers and people who work in crowded settings.

The lobby group had written to the government this month, recommending elderly and vulnerable people be moved higher up the priority list, he said.

It's really nonsensical not to prioritize the elderly and the vulnerable by using the available vaccine to mitigate the risks. How on earth doessome people's logic work in view of other preferred vaccines not being easily available.
