[Thread] 1. People in South Africa who are 60 years and older can register on the government's electronic vaccination system from 4pm today (it was announced at a press briefing this morning). bit.ly/32h0Kar
2. At this stage, the system will only allow you to register and not yet allocate you a site or date to get vaccinated at (because a vaccination date depends on when our first batch of vaccines arrives and when Sahpra makes an announcement about the resuming of J&J's roll-out).
3. #ZweliMkhize: What do you need to register online? Internet access (smart phone, tablet, computer), an ID or passport, a cell phone number (so the system can send you text messages re appointments) and if you have a medical aid, your med aid number/card.
4. #ZweliMkhize: You can also go to a vaccination site to register in person (there are no operational sites yet, so you'll first have to wait for sites to open if you can't register online). There will soon also be a WhatsApp service you can use to register.
5. #ZweliMkhize: The EVDS will ask you to enter your address so it can assign you a vaccination site closest to your home or place of work (when vaccination starts). This way, the system can also let the health dpt know how many jabs to allocate to which site on a particular day.
6. #ZweliMkhize: Once you've registered, the system will send you a sms to let you know the system has captured your details. When it's allocated a site and date for your vaccination, you will get another sms. Once you've been vaccinated, you will receive a vaccination card.
7. #ZweliMkhize: No one should be asked to pay for a vaccine at a site - everyone should be getting vaccinated for free, also those with medical aid.
8. #ZweliMkhize: We don't yet have a date when we will resume with our #JohnsonandJohnson roll-out, but it's likely only a temporary pause.
