The South African National Defence Union (Sandu) has demanded that the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) register military healthcare workers in the Sisonke Vaccination Programme. If not done by Monday 8 March, the trade union is prepared to take the matter to court. It has appealed to the Ministry of Defence and Military Veterans to intervene urgently.
The union has been “inundated” with calls by military healthcare workers over the apparent failure of the SANDF surgeon-general, Lieutenant-General Zola Dabula, to register them with the vaccination programme.
The programme launched on 17 February and 70,527 healthcare workers in the public and private sector had been vaccinated by 4 March.
