It was announced in a virtual cabinet meeting held on Wednesday, August 18 that the vaccination of persons aged between 18 years and 35 years has been approved from Friday, August 20.
Cabinet welcomed the vaccination roll-out plan to increase the uptake of vaccines, particularly in provinces that had shown a reduction in the uptake of vaccines. To date, 9-million vaccines have been administered in South Africa, with over seven million people partially vaccinated and over four million fully vaccinated.
Further approval was given to keep the country under the Risk-Adjusted Alert Level 3 of the national lockdown, as advised by the Ministerial Advisory Committee. Cabinet encouraged all unvaccinated people in South Africa to get vaccinated to protect against serious illness from Covid-19.
