Get vaccinated this weekend and save our summer
To avoid another humdrum summer of Covid restrictions, as was the case in 2020, the Department of Health is encouraging all South Africans to get vaccinated against Covid-19 as soon as possible.
South Africans who are not yet vaccinated are called upon to join the Vooma Vaccination Weekend on November 12-14 in a bid to save our summer.
December is the start of the festive season, which in South Africa is all about hot summer days, beaches, shisanyama Sundays, family gatherings and bush breaks.
To avoid another humdrum summer of Covid restrictions, as was the case in 2020, the Department of Health is encouraging all South Africans to get vaccinated against Covid-19 as soon as possible.
People who have had only one Pfizer dose, must go for their second jab as soon as the mandatory 42-day waiting period is over, and those who are yet to get vaccinated are urged to do so as soon as possible.
Once the majority of the population is fully immunised, the risk of exposure and contraction will be limited and the Covid-19 infection rate will be curbed.
This will help enable the economy to recover and save those businesses that will not survive another lockdown.
Vaccination sites will be open all Friday and Saturday and selected sites on Sunday. See www.sacoronavirus.co.za for details.
For enquiries, contact the Covid-19 hotline on 0800 029 999 or email info@vaccinesupport.org.za in English, Afrikaans, Zulu, Sotho or Xhosa. Vooma vaccination voucher enquiries for over 60s: Shoprite helpline on 0800 010 709.
