CAN YOU STILL SPREAD THE CORONAVIRUS AFTER GETTING A The main purpose of COVID vaccines is to prevent people from falling ill with COVID-19, the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. Even the best jabs don’t provide 100% protection, and some vaccinated people still get COVID through “breakthrough” infections. But new emerging evidence points to the fact HOW LONG WILL YOU WAIT FOR A COVID VACCINATION APPOINTMENT The only way to book an appointment for a COVID jab is to register on the government’s electronic vaccination system. But how does the system decide who gets vaccinated first and what happens if you missed an appointment? We asked the health department.

The country is expecting to receive its first share of available shots within the second quarter of this year. Here’s a look at who will get it and how. VACCINE MISINFORMATION: WHAT TO DO WHEN IT’S COMING FROM The African Alliance filed a complaint against South Africa’s Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng because he publicly made false statements about COVID-19 vaccines. Most people’s views about vaccines aren’t set in stone, and research shows they can be swayed in favour of jabs with factual information. Most South Africans are pro-vaccine. SA’S LOCKDOWN LIQUOR BAN: ALL THE SPATS AND STATS The country moves to alert level two of lockdown, starting at midnight on 17 August when the sale of liquor will be unbanned. Bhekisisa reported extensively on various aspects of South Africa’s existing alcohol regulations and the ban on sales during lockdown. This is a WHAT DO CORONAVIRUS AND EBOLA HAVE IN COMMON?

An epidemic may be a medical phenomenon, but it is CAN YOU PAUSE A PANDEMIC? INSIDE THE RACE TO STOP THE SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, takes between three and 13 days to show symptoms in your body after you’ve been exposed, says Cheryl Cohen, head of the NICD’s Centre for Respiratory Diseases and Meningitis. This process is known as the incubation period. SEXUAL VIOLENCE AND UNINTENDED PREGNANCY IN SOUTH AFRICA The rate of adolescent pregnancy is generally high in the region – as high as 40% in Mozambique. In South Africa, the proportion of women aged 19 who had begun childbearing was 28% in 2016. Sexual violence is also widespread in the country. South Africa has the highest rate of rape in the world with 132.4 incidents per 100 000 people.

GMO BABIES: INSIDE THE BAD SCIENCE THAT SENT A CHINESE COMMENT. More than a year ago, the world was shocked by Chinese biophysicist He Jiankui’s attempt to use CRISPR technology to modify human embryos and make them resistant to HIV, which led to the birth of twins Lulu and Nana.. Now, crucial details have been revealed in a recent release of excerpts from the study, which have triggered a series of concerns about how Lulu and Nana’s THESE COUNTRIES MEDICALLY PRESCRIBE HEROIN, SHOULD SA Scarce data shows that South Africa, like the rest of the world, is facing concentrated HIV and hepatitis epidemics among people who use drugs, both injecting or non-injecting.
