South Africa will begin giving frontline health care workers an unapproved coronavirus vaccine.

The health minister said the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine is safe.

No country has approved it, but he said data shows it to be more effective than the AstraZeneca vaccine against the variant spreading in the country.
