The Delta variant is driving up new infections and deaths across SA.
Kubayi said: “We are ramping up our vaccination programme so we can reach the majority of the population so that more people are protected from this devastating virus.”
Daily vaccination numbers hit a new high of 191,000 on Thursday and are expected to surpass 250,000 a day by next week, the minister said.
“We have surpassed the four million (mark of people) receiving vaccines across the country ... This is one of our milestones, though it is not enough.”
Kubayi said the provinces would be focusing on districts to make sure each municipality has an equitable share of vaccines.
Vaccines work against the Delta variant and no cases of the Lambda variant have yet been detected in SA, she said.
