[Thread]. 1. How do you find #VaccineRolloutSA stats? There's a dashboard: bit.ly/3jbNiyp
1. The timeframe used to report vaccinations has changed
2. Previous time frame = jabs of previous day
3. New timeframe = jabs of previous day, 5:01pm to jabs of current day: 5pm
2. Anyone can access the #VaccineRolloutSA dashboard:
1. The dashboard will be updated each day, by the latest 6:30pm
2. The dashboard will sometimes also be updated through the course of the day
3. From the dashboard: this table shows the nr of jabs done between June 23 5:01pm - June 24 5pm
* The nr 115 016 includes ALL vaccinations of the past 24 hours (at normal sites, special sites [e.g. teachers] + work places, regardless of the type of jab (JnJ or Pfizer) used
4. This table shows the nr of #Sisonke jabs (the study is completed) and nr of jabs for #VaccineRollOutSA (it started on May 17) to date. The nr of #Sisonke jabs will still change because many vaccinations were captured on paper and are still being entered into the #EVDS.
5. Want to know which province has given how many jabs on a particular day and the breakdown between the private and public sectors? The dashboard will show you: bit.ly/3jbNiyp
6. The dashboard will also show you how many people in each province have registered on the #EVDS — and in which category (e.g. #HealthWorkers and 60+). bit.ly/3jbNiyp

[Thread] 1. How does @SAHPRA1 make decisions? Helen Rees says Sahpra is an independent regulator and makes decisions based on science. It assesses if #COVID vaccines are safe and effective and if manufacturing processes are of a high quality.
2. Helen Rees: A recent survey showed 70% of people in SA are confident to take a #COVID vaccine. 30% were unsure. If we are doing to build confidence in vaccines, it's crucial that @SAHPRA1 does it job well so that people know the jabs approved are safe and effective.
3. Helen Rees: SA is currently rolling out 2 #COVID vaccines (#Pfizer and #JnJ). The country is likely to roll out more brands in the future. But with new variants it is NB to ask the question: Will these jabs work against the new variants? It's Sahpra's job to assess that.

[Thread] 1. This graph shows how the Delta variant is spreading in SA (the green dots = the Delta variant). The yellow dots are the Beta variant, which has been dominating up until now. @Tuliodna says the Delta variant is likely to start dominating the global #COVID19 pandemic. Image
2. The Delta variant spreads faster than any other #COVID variant, including the Beta variant. It spreads 2x as fast as the original form of SARS-CoV-2 and 30-60-% faster than the Beta variant. It has been detected in 85 countries and causes 95% of infection in the UK. ImageImage
3. The Delta variant is likely to dominate SA's #COVID19 pandemic. It presents a higher risk of reinfection, but there's no evidence that it reduces the efficacy of vaccines. The Delta variant is likely why we're seeing so many more infections in SA's 3rd wave vs. the 2nd wave. Image

[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)
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.

[Thread] 1. Acting Health Minister Mammoloko Kubayi-Ngubane: We have vaccinated more than 2.5 million people. The education sector has managed to vaccinated 50 000+ people per day. At this rate the school programme will finish within 10 days.
2. Mammoloko Kubayi-Ngubane: Demand among 60+ for #VaccineRollout has decreased. Reasons:
1. Vaccine hesistancy,
2. Some sites are not easily accessible;
3. Lack of access to internet/data for registration
3. Mammoloko Kubayi-Ngubane: To address the decrease in demand for 60+, vaccine sites will be conducting co-ordinated walk-ins so that more 60+ can get vaccinated easier.

[Thread] 1. JUST IN from @SAHPRA1. Is Sahpra looking at approving the #COVID jabs of Sinopharm (from China) and Moderna (from the US) for use in SA? NO. Why not? Because those companies haven't applied with the regulator for authorisation use.
2. Can SA procure jabs which haven't been authorised for use by @SAHPRA1? NO. So, unless a manufacturer applies for emergency authorisation use with Sahpra, the gov can't buy the jab the company makes. Why? Because we 1st need to know if Sahpra thinks the jab is safe + effective.
3. What can a vaccine manufacturer do before a jab is authorised by Sahpra? They can certainly lobby ministers, the president, senior gov staff. But any product still needs to follow the law. That means no procurement until Sahrpa has approved the jab for use.
