1. #CyrilRampahosa: 67% of health workers have been vaccinated. IN total: 960 000 people in SA have received 1 #COVID vaccination dose (either #Pfizer or #JandJ). Over the next days, we would have administered 1 vaccination dose to more than 1-million of the most vulnerable SAs.
2. #CyrilRampahosa: SA has secured enough vaccines to cover all adults:
* 31 million #JandJ doses (this is a single dose jab)
* 20 million #Pfizer doses (this vaccine requires two doses, 42 days apart)
3. #CyrilRampahosa: SA's #JandJ jabs have been delayed because of a lack of adherence to proper standards at a US factory. We're waiting for these issues to be resolved before our J&J jabs can be released from Aspen in EC. We are in constant contact with the relevant authorities.

[Thread] 1.#CyrilRamaphosa: The nr of infections has begun to rise. We now have an average of 3745 daily new #COVID19 infections. This in an increase of 31% vs the previous week and 66% of week before that.
2. #CyrilRamaphosa: The proportion of #COVID19 tests that come out positive has doubled over the past month from 4% to 11%. A positivity rate of over 5% is a cause for concern. The Free State, Northern Cape and Gauteng have reached that threshold. They are in a third wave.
3. #CyrilRamaphosa: It is only matter of time before the entire country reaches a third wave. The increasing nr of social gatherings where people are not wearing masks or social distance or gather in large groups have contributed to this.

[Thread] 1. EVDS Q and A with responses from @healthza’s Nicholas Crisp.

Can you make special arrangements to get vaccinated if you need to travel internationally? No. @healthza is working on a process, but it won’t be implemented soon. Why? "It will open a floodgate."
2. How does whether you have a medical aid or not influence where you'll have your jab? If you have a medical aid, the #EVDS will prioritise you for a private site, if you don't have a medical aid, it will prioritise you for a public site.
3. Why does the #EVDS assign public sites to people without medical aid? 1. The admin is easier (no payment has to be processed). 2. It's cheaper (the gov sites get jabs, syringes, etc in large quantities because they're bigger, so the cost/vaccination works out cheaper).

[Thread]1. LATEST #VaccineRolloutSA stats:
* 282 135 #Pfizer 1st doses by Tue 23:59pm
* What does this tell us about the pace at which we're vaccinating?
- The pace is picking up:
* Mon = 49 276 doses
* Tue = 60 999 (282 135 - 221 136 = 60 999), so on Tue 19% more than on Mon
2. Is the pace at which we're vaccinating fast enough to reach the goals @HealthZA has set? Not yet.
* Health dpt goals = 109 200 vaccinations per day for the week of May 24
* We reached 45% of this goal on Mon and 56% of the goal on Tue
3. What does the provincial distribution of #VaccineRolloutSA look like? @Bhekisisa_MG created this map to make it easy to understand. (The figures are from Mon, because @HealthZA hasn't yet released provincial figures for Tue):
1. KZN: 80 121
2. GT: 49 548
3. EC: 26 232

[Thread] 1. Is #VaccineRolloutSA moving fast enough to consume the jabs that SA will receive over the next 5-6 weeks? To answer that, we need to look at how many jabs we’ll have and how many daily vaccinations we would need to do to use the shots.
2. How many jabs will we (likely) have for the next 5-6 weeks?
* Business SA on Fri said we'll have 3 mil #JandJ doses by the end of June (if the FDA authorises the release of the jabs in time)
* 4.5 mil #Pfizer doses by the end of June (#Mkhize announced this in May)
3. Business SA/health dpt calculated:
* For the wk of May 17 we needed to do 54 200 vaccinations/day
* For the wk of May 24 we need to do 109 200 vaccinations/day
* For the other weeks until the end of June we need to do 192 500 vaccinations/day
(this is based on 6 days/wk)

[Thread] 1. Five @Dischem #VaccineRolloutSA sites will open in Gatueng on Tuesday, May 25 (in addition to the Midrand site that opened on May 17):
1. Centurion
2. Mall of the South
3. Jabulani
4. East Rand Mall
5. Fourways Mall
2. The 5 @Dischem #VaccineRolloutSA sites are not based at Dis-Chem pharmacies, they're in malls (look out for posters and signage). Dis-Chem expects
@HealthZA to deliver vaccine stock on Mon, which is why they're only opening on Tu (no deliveries = made over weekends for now).
3. Can you just turn up at a Dis-chem #VaccineRolloutSA site this week? NO. Dis-Chem says it will only help people who:
* Have registered on the EVDS
* Arrive with an EVDS voucher with a date, place + time
* Bring their ID + medical scheme membership (if applicable)
