Full list of all Western Cape Covid-19 vaccination sites

CAPE TOWN – From Monday the Western Cape will have 36 public and 11 private vaccination sites operating.
The province launched its phase 2 vaccination programme with only eight vaccination sites and scaled up to 19 vaccination sites, in addition to seven private sites at Clicks stores, bringing the combined vaccination sites to 26 during the first week.
The Western Cape health department says scheduling of residents to receive their vaccine was one of the biggest challenges it faced and this resulted in many residents and health-care workers who have registered not receiving their second SMS notifying them of their vaccination date, time and venue.
