Authorities scramble to control vaccine queue jumping in the Western Cape

Cape Town - Health authorities are scrambling to avoid queue jumping and manage age sequencing for the Covid-19 vaccine on the Electronic Vaccination Data System (EVDS).
This comes after a number of reports on social media that people under the age of 30 are able to register for the Covid-19 vaccine, with some even getting appointment dates for their jabs, although the vaccines are meant at present to be restricted to the over-60s.
A report doing the rounds on social media claims that one person aged under 30 had simply registered on both the Discovery Health Medical Scheme (DHMS) portal as well as on the Department of Health’s EVDS portal, after which they received their SMS to go for a vaccine.
