South Africa will administer its first Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine shot on Wednesday at Khayelitsha District Hospital in Cape Town, Western Cape Premier Alan Winde said.

South Africa halted AstraZeneca's rollout this month after preliminary trial data showed they offered minimal protection against mild to moderate illness from the country's dominant coronavirus variant.
