JOHANNESBURG, Jan 3 (Reuters) - South Africa is trying to
get COVID-19 vaccines as soon as February, but the timing will
depend on bilateral negotiations with pharmaceutical companies,
Health Minister Zweli Mkhize said on Sunday.
Mkhize added at a news conference that the government's aim
was to vaccinate a minimum of 67% of the country's population of
roughly 60 million people to reach herd immunity.
