The world's first hope for a COVID-19 vaccine - developed by drug companies Pfizer and BioNTech, in preventing COVID-19 in early results, is highly unlikely to become widely available in South Africa. This is because the vaccine needs to be stored below freezing temperatures - at minus 70 degrees Celsius - which the country doesn't have the capacity to do on a large scale.
