How far are we from a trustworthy Covid-19 vaccine in SA?

As of mid-August about 570,00 cases of Covid-19 have been identified in South Africa. More than 11,000 individuals have succumbed to the virus. However, there is some positive news. Just over 432,000 people have recovered in South Africa. Recently, Russia announced that it has released the world's first Covid-19 vaccine. Across the world, analysts and medical experts are questioning how the Russians managed to bring the vaccine to fruition so quickly. In this interview, BizNews founder Alec Hogg chats to Dr Noluthando Nematswerani, head of the Clinical Policy Unit at Discovery Health, who gives her thoughts on the Russian vaccine, and discusses which Covid-19 vaccine trials are in the pipeline locally. – Jarryd Neves
