Covid-19 vaccine: 455 059 vaccinations administered in the West Rand

A total of 6 799 614 Covid-19 vaccinations have been administered in the Gauteng Province as of November 24. The total number of individuals vaccinated is at 4 368 286 with 3 592 057 individuals being fully vaccinated.

In the West Rand, which comprises Mogale City, Rand West City and Merafong City, 455 059 vaccinations have been administered, with 240 661 individuals fully vaccinated.

In the neighbouring City of Johannesburg, 2 960 681 vaccines have been administered with 1 509 768 individuals fully vaccinated.

All persons older than 12 years old are encouraged to visit their nearest vaccination site to receive the jab. It is thought that vaccinating 70% or more of the adult population can minimise the impact of the fourth wave. The Department of Health (DoH) further reminds the public that those who received a two-dose vaccine need to return for their second dose at 42 days.

All Gauteng sites, both private and public, accept walk-ins whether people are registered on the EVDS or not.
