The Democratic Alliance (DA) in the Western Cape has called on national government to urgently communicate COVID-19 vaccine safety to residents.
The party wants clarity, as South Africa
prepares for the first batch that is expected to arrive early February.
One million doses will reach the country by the
first week of February.
"Nothing withholds government from
embarking on a mass campaign to distribute factual information around the
particulars of a safe vaccination process in the interests of residents.
National government has dragged its feet in providing clarity on the COVID-19
process when it comes to payment, process and planning," said the party's
health spokesperson, Wendy Philander.
Philander says she will write to the Western
Cape’s Health MEC, Dr. Nomafrench Mbombo
‘’I will however, write to the provincial
Minister of Health, Dr Nomafrench Mbombo, to establish how and when the
provincial department will roll-out its campaign to keep residents informed on
the particulars of a safe Covid-19 vaccination process.’’
