South Africa halts AstraZeneca vaccine rollout

Move comes after preliminary data find no effect on mild or moderate disease caused by prevalent variant

South Africa has moved to halt its rollout of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine after preliminary and limited evidence showed it failed to protect against mild and moderate forms of disease caused by a coronavirus variant first detected in the country.

Distribution of the AstraZeneca jab, scheduled to begin in the country this month, would be put on hold to study its effects including on severe cases in more detail “until the scientists give us clear indications as to what we need to do”, Zweli Mkhize, South Africa’s health minister, said on Sunday.
