Gauteng vaccination sites: Here’s where to get your jab today

Everyone over the age of 18 may get their jabs from Friday, 20 August. Here's where to go, and don't forget your ID.


As of today, everyone older than 18 may get their Covid-19 vaccines. The rollout for this age group was initially planned for 1 September.

Pop-up vaccination sites

Provincial governments stepped up efforts to increase mobilisation in the province with the aim of encouraging people to be vaccinated.

Don’t forget to take your ID or driver licence, or a police-signed affidavit confirming your identity. You don’t need to register; personnel will capture your details on the EVDS at the site.

Alternatively, register on the official South African Covid-19 Vaccination Programme registration portal, but remember to take your ID to the vaccination site.

Where to get your jab:

  • The Zwartkop Raceway vaccine drive-thru in Centurion is open from 9am to 9pm today. You get to choose your own jab: J&J or Pfizer. No need for an appointement, and the best part? Get your jab in the comfort of your vehicle.
  • Power 98.7 in partnership with the Gauteng Department of Health arranged a pop-up vaccination site at POWER House, 79 Central Street, Houghton Estate, between 7am and 6pm.
