Shelly Beach Hospital in partnership with the Ugu District Department of Health launched a Covid-19 vaccination site at the hospital on Monday this week.
This site is open to the public and the vaccines are free. One can drive through or just walk in.
CEO of the hospital, Noeleen Phillips said the partnership helps solve challenges together, to serve the community.
“I trust this initiative will prove to be an example of what we can achieve if we work in partnership, for the benefit of all our people.”
She said she would like to thank Dr Zanele Bikitsha, the district office and Gamalakhe Community Health Centre for their co-operation.
In a statement, Ugu district health said it welcomes and appreciates the working relationship forged between the two
entities.
“The vaccination programme started in May 2020 with a phased in approach. The phasing in of the population culminated in open vaccinations to all from 12 years and above who consented to be vaccinated,” said Thabisile Ngcobo.
The vaccination site will operate from Monday to Friday from 08:30 to 14:30.
Vaccines are available to all, including those without medical aid.
