South Africa’s Tutu gets jab to help start inoculation drive

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South Africa’s anti-apartheid icon Archbishop Desmond Tutu, 89, came out of retirement Monday to help the country launch its drive to inoculate older citizens against the coronavirus. He was rolled in a wheelchair into a vaccination center in Cape Town where he and his wife, Leah, were among those getting shots. South Africa has the goal of inoculating nearly 5 million citizens aged 60 and above by the end of June. Shots of the Pfizer vaccine were given to more than 4,000 South Africans aged 60 and above to start the campaign.
