Watch: South Africa approves Pfizer booster vaccine
- 2 years ago
South Africa has approved the use of Pfizer's coronavirus booster vaccine for people aged over 18 years, amid mounting concern following a record of almost 20,000 infections overnight, largely ascribed to the new and highly-mutating Omicron variant.
The South African Health Products Authority (SAHPRA) on Wednesday approved the use of Pfizer's Comirnaty Covid-19 vaccine after BioNTech and Pfizer announced that two doses of their vaccine may not be enough to protect against the Omicron variant.
