Private sector, civil society urged to help with Covid-19 vaccine registration
Share
Cape Town - The private sector and civil society organisations need to pitch in and help residents of the province to register for their Covid-19 jabs if Phase 2 of the vaccine roll-out is to be a success, according to Premier Alan Winde.
Winde said there are now 75 access centres across the province, and specially trained employees are available to assist residents to register for their jabs.
Winde said: âWe have made these centres available for registration, because no person should be left behind in this vaccination programme because they do not have internet access. We are all in this together, and every life matters to us.â
