[Thread]. 1. SA is rolling out vaccines in three arms simultaneously, says Nicholas Crisp from @HealthZA:
1. Among the general population (normal sites)
2. Among essential workers (at special sites, e.g. teachers)
3. Among occupational health/workplace services (at work places)
1. Among the general population (normal sites)
2. Among essential workers (at special sites, e.g. teachers)
3. Among occupational health/workplace services (at work places)
2. Among the 60+ population the oldest person vaccinated so far was 119, according to her ID doc. Only 50% of 60+ have registered on the EVDS for vaccinations and just over half of those have been reached with vaccinations.
3. Over the six weeks that #VaccineRollOutSA has been running, about 2 million Pfizer doses and 100 000 #JnJ doses (education sector) have been administrated.
4. Registration of people on the EVDS have been best in rural, not urban areas. In Limpopo registration has been best. This was against the expectations of the hlth dpt - it was thought that in urban areas where people have more access to internet, registrations would be higher.
5. SA does about 85 000 vaccinations per day, that will now increase because we have more jabs are coming in. In the next few weeks, we mass vaccination sites in metros will open up.
6. When registrations for people of 50+ will open up on 1 July, people of 60+ will still be able to register. The population of 50+ is 4.8 million people. The hlth dpt will be happy if 65% of them can be reached with vaccinations.
