Mediclinic participates in vaccination drives

According to a media statement by the presidency, this was the first Vooma Vaccination Weekend in a series of outreaches under this banner.

“Vaccines are safe and easy to receive. They protect people against serious illness, hospitalisation and death. When the majority of people in the country are vaccinated, the nation will experience a greater sense of freedom and safety in social interactions and economic activity.”

Mediclinic said it unequivocally supported the vaccination process based on evidence-led research around current vaccines that provided a strong indication of the dramatic impact the vaccine offered as protection against severe illness and the risk of death.

“This has been demonstrated by many different Covid-19 vaccines in a number of countries. We believe that by vaccinating and reaching the 70% target, we can protect ourselves and our community, and dramatically reduce the potential impact of a fourth wave expected later in the year.”
