The Western Cape Department of Health has confirmed that there is a shortage of measles and hepatitis vaccines.
MEC of Health Theuns Botha said poor
stock management at national government level is an indication of poor
management and patients suffer as a result.
Botha said the department is looking
at alternative ways to address the problem.
Ministerial Spokesperson Helene
Rossouw said this is a problem across South
Africa not only the Western
Cape . It
is caused by international mass polio and measles campaign.
Rossouw added that the provincial
government is in contact with the national department of health to try and
resolve the problem as swiftly as possible.
