Health Dept expects busier vaccine sites as parents bring kids for COVID vaccine jabs | MiaLindeque
JOHANNESBURG - The Health Department said that it was expecting a significant number of parents and guardians to take their children to vaccine sites after school on Wednesday to get their Pfizer jabs.
One mother of two teens said that her children were not hesitant to take their jabs and understood the importance of being inoculated. The South African Health Products Regulatory Authority has investigated a number of allegations of people who have died after receiving the COVID-19 jab confirming no deaths have been linked to the vaccine.
Government is aiming to innoculate at least 30 million people or 70% of the population by the end of the year.
