[Thread] 1. When will our next batch of #Pfizer jabs arrive? At midnight (Sunday): 325 260 doses. How many doses will we have then? 975 780 doses (tonight's batch will first have to get checked by the National Control Lab in Bloemfontein for quality).

2. When will the remaining 700 000 #HealthWorkers not covered by #Sisonke all be vaccinated by? By the end of this week, #ZweliMkhize said tonight (only 1st doses can be given this week - Pfizer needs 2 doses. To vaccinate 700 000 means we need those doses at sites this week).

3. Who will get sms's for #vaccination appointments this week? 7 707 #HealthWorkers and 4 288 citizens of 60 years and older.

4. What happens if you miss your #vaccine appointment? You can reschedule on the EVDS. But if you miss your appointment 3 times, you can't use the EVDS. You will still be on the system, but you'd have to go to a site or phone the #COVID19 hotline.

5. Will you receive an appointment sms if you reside in an old age home? NO. Why not? Because vaccinators will visit you on-site. 7 707 senior citizens living in 102 old age homes will be targeted this week and 50 000 citizens in old age homes by the end of May.

6. What happens once you've received two #Pfizer doses (it will happen 21 days apart). You will receive an SMS indicating that you have been vaccinated and also a vaccination card.
