JOHANNESBURG, Feb 10 (Reuters) - South Africa will discuss
with the international COVAX vaccine scheme whether it can swap
500,000 AstraZeneca vaccine doses it has ordered from
the Serum Institute of India but which are yet to arrive, its
health minister said on Wednesday.
"The 500,000 that was ordered, we have actually contacted
the Serum Institute, and we will actually be discussing with
COVAX whilst it has not been delivered whether it is possible to
swap it on COVAX and therefore get a different vaccine," Zweli
Mkhize said.
