Public sector vaccination sites went into ramp-up mode this week as dozens more came on stream. The aim is to meet the government’s target of 3,300 operational sites.
The business sector’s push to get vaccines into arms comes down to the bottom line: reviving a hurting economy during a pandemic starts with keeping more people alive.
But week two of the national roll-out still had glitches. Only about 1.6 million people are currently registered on the Electronic Vaccination Data System (EVDS). According to Statistics South Africa’s 2019 data there are about 4.6 million people in the country who are over the age of 60.
The sector has added muscle to the Phase 2 roll-out effort in the hope that a public-private partnership proves to be the secret ingredient to fight the virus.
