[Thread] 1. @healthza's Nicholas Crisp:
1. #VaccineRollOutSA now has 2 283 public sector sites and 314 private sector sites.
3. Most public sites do outreach, particularly in rural areas.
The slide shows the nr of sites per province.
2. This slide shows how sites are distributed across districts in provinces. Not all sites are open every day, it depends on need. As the need shifts, sites open in those districts.
3. Over 3 mil people in SA have been vaccinated:
1. By the end of next week, @healthza plans to vaccinated 250 000 people per day.
2. By the end of Aug they want to vaccinate 300 000 people per day.
3. 5.6% of SA's population has been reached with at least one vaccine dose.
4. These are the vaccinations figures of the Eastern Cape. The dips in vaccinations are over weekends, and that will be addressed by 1 August, when weekend vaccinations will start to be widely done.
5. Northwest had to reorganise its vaccination programme when #JnJ wasn't available (we currently use JnJ for essential worker groups as the JnJ jabs we have expire in Aug so we need to use them quickly). Northwest had to create sites for Pfizer (not originally planned for).
6. Weekends:
1. All provinces are planning to get more staff to vaccinate over weekends (medical and nursing students will help)
2. Weekend vaccinations will start on 1 August
