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.

Cape Town - As of today there are 53 Covid-19 vaccine sites operational in the Western Cape.
The Western Cape government last week said that the number of vaccination sites in the province will increase to 53 as of Monday, 24 May 2021, with more to come.
This is part of the province’s scale-up approach where they will bring more sites online regularly, to significantly increase the number of vaccinations administered daily.
More than 167,000 people were vaccinated in the first week of Phase Two of South Africa’s Covid-19 vaccine roll-out. They received just the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine.
The roll-out was given a boost over the weekend, with the finding that the Pfizer vaccine can be stored in a refrigerator for a month. Previously, it was estimated that the vaccine would last in a standard fridge for only five days, but new data prove otherwise. The change was approved by the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority after its counterparts in Europe and the US made the same call.
