The South African government said the vaccine will be stored at a secure location in Gauteng province then distributed to other provinces.
This was revealed by the Health Minister, Zweli Mkhize via a tweet, showing photos of the arrival of the first batch of the vaccine.
The country’s vaccination rollout is expected to begin soon.
South Africa had received AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine, but stopped vaccination after doubts over its efficacy against the new variant.
