JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) -South Africa has asked Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer to delay delivery of COVID-19 vaccines because it now has too much stock, health ministry officials said, as vaccine hesitancy slows an inoculation campaign.

About 35% of adult South Africans are fully vaccinated, higher than in most other African nations, but half the government's year-end target. It has averaged 106,000 doses a day in the past 15 days in a nation of 60 million people.

Nicholas Crisp, deputy director-general of the Health Department, told Reuters that South Africa had 16.8 million doses in stock and said deliveries had been deferred.

"We have 158 days' stock in the country at current use," a spokesman for the Health Ministry said. "We have deferred some deliveries."

1. Nice. We have a friend in Ukraine who has been waiting 2 months for her second

Pfizer shot. She has a visa and plane ticket to US, but can't get the vaccination due to hospital not getting shipment.

2. Humans Are So F'ng Stupid!

I said it many times over the last 21 months. Maybe this is God’s way of starting from scratch. As a race, we really have learned nothing, and deep down, we don’t value our own lives or the lives of other species on this planet.

“Don’t send vaccines, we have a several month supply because nobody wants to get one.”
