Department of Health Bridging the Gap in Vaccine Accessibility
The Provincial Health Department is on a journey to reaching 4 million vaccine doses by breaching the gap in vaccine accessibility ahead of the festive season and expected fourth wave of Covid-19.
The Health Department has opened a number of pop-up and
in-residential vaccination sites across the province.
Provincial Health Department spokesperson Mark van der
Heever said the sites are the latest adjustment with the previous adaptation of
setting up such sites at shopping centre, grocery stores and at Sassa pay
points.
Since the start of the vaccine rollout, the province has
administered 3 910 986 vaccines with 2 023 748 people (excluding the 12-17
years) fully vaccinated.
Van der Heever said the pop-up sites are in addition to the
weekly vaccination sites and information on where sites can be found is
uploaded on the department’s social media platforms daily, shared among
community groups and communicated through community media channels.
