The African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP) and other concerned organisations will approach the Gauteng High Court, next week to urgently halt the roll-out of the Covid-19 vaccine to children.
The ACDP and Free the
Children and Save the Nation will, among
others, argue in court that medical science agrees that children are
effectively at no risk of serious illness or death when infected with Covid-19
and that there is no need to vaccinate children against this virus for their
own protection or safety.
One of the concerns raised by ACDP leader Kenneth Meshoe was the lack of consultation with parents before opening up vaccines for children. The party sent correspondence to the Department of Health and Sahpra demanding they suspend the roll-out of vaccinating children aged 12 to 17.
As it had no response to this request, the ACDP said it had no choice but to approach the court.
