Denosa states vaccination rollout plan for teachers was poorly planned

The Democratic Nursing Organisation (Denosa) says the vaccination programme rollout has been poorly planned and implemented.

The organisation stated there are long queues that end up in stampedes exposing people to COVID-19 infections. Yesterday in Bloeamfontein the situation turned into chaotic scenes with hundreds of teachers queuing outside the Gonyane Primary school hall without observing social distancing.

The Departments of Education and Health only aimed to vaccinate 500 teachers on the first day and as the day progressed, things got out of control as teachers pushed one another to be let inside the school hall.

Some of the teachers complained that there was no proper planning for the vaccination process. Denosa Acting General Secretary Cassim Lekhoathi says the shortage of personnel at vaccination sites hampers government’s vaccination
