2. How many adults were fully vaccinated in the last 24 hours? 111, 205 (most of these vaccinations happened in Gauteng, KZN and Limpopo)
- #JnJ: 60, 464
- #Pfizer: 50, 741
3. Cool new @healthza dashboard feature: Breakdown of vaccinations by age and gender: 1. % of men: 39.77% 2. % of women: 60.23%
4. Adults who have received at least one dose of vaccine:
Number: 6, 687, 853
Proportion: 16.8%
But fully vaccinated (people of 18+ who received 1 #JnJ jab or 2 #Pfizer shots): 3, 447, 380 (8.6%)

We now have results to show the #JnJ jab provides significant protection @ the #DeltaVariant in SA.
What is Sisonke?
The Sisonke study used the #JnJ jab to look @ the effectiveness of the jab among SA #HealthWorkers
2. Gray: 1. #Sisonke vaccinated 477 234 #HealthWorkers 2. 122 sites were used to vaccinate health workers
3. Gray: #Sisonke researchers used three sets of data to analyse the study's results: 1. 2 sets of data from medical insurers were used and one set of provincial persal data 2. Today Gray is only reporting on two sets of data
[Thread] 1. When will our new vaccine stock reach #VaccineRollOutSA sites?
@healthza says: #JnJ (1, 454, 900 doses released by Aspen last wk): Tu onwards #Pfizer (1,5 mil doses we bought; arrived on Sun): Thu onwards
Pfizer (2.8 mil US donated doses; arrived on Sat): Next week
[Thread] 1. What's happening with our #VaccineRollOutSA doses — will we have enough and are we reaching the right people?
Nicholas Crisp, @healthza:
We crossed the 7 mil mark for vaccine doses administered this week, but we're not yet reaching enough 60+ (most vulnerable).
2. Crisp: 1. 80% (4, 416, 391) of 60+ have been vaccinated with at least one dose 2. 15% (727, 839) of 50+ have been vaccinated with at least one dose
@healthza's goal for Aug: 1 out of 7 vaccinations has to be for 60+
3. Crisp:
We're not reaching the desired public/private mix for jabs: there is far more capacity in the private sector than what we're currently using
Below is a screen grab from @healthza's dashboard that shows a breakdown of the % of jabs done at pub/priv sites on Thu
[Thread] 1. How far are we behind with our original #VaccineRolloutSA targets? Dr Jabu Mtsweni from @CSIR has analysed this.
What is our target? To vaccinate 40 million adults in SA by March 2022.
2. How do we measure if we're reaching targets? 1. We can look at the nr of doses we administer in either a 5 (without weekends) or 7 day week 2. We can count how many people are fully vaccinated, but the nr of doses we count are different for JnJ (1 dose) and Pfizer (2 doses)
3. So how is SA doing? 1. Average nr of doses/day = 173 258 2. 80% of the doses = Pfizer (2 doses) and 20% = JnJ (Pfizer was up until recently, the only jab available to SA to roll out at sites) 3. Using more 2 dose jabs makes us move slower on targets for full vaccinations
[Thread] 1. Are the 5.6 mil #Pfizer doses the US gov is donating to SA in addition to the Pfizer doses we've already procured ? YES (confirmed by @healthza)
[Thread] 1. What % of SA adults have now been fully vaccinated + with which jab?
Fully vaccinated adults (people of 18+) = 6.1%
- 3.1% have been fully vaccinated with #JnJ (they had 1 shot)
- 3% have been fully vaccinated with #Pfizer (they had 2 shots)
(3.1% + 3% = 6.1%)
2. How are provinces doing with full vaccinations?
Limpopo (8.5%), KZN (7.5%) and the Eastern Cape (7.2%) are leading the way, proportion-wise.
But when it comes to numbers, Gauteng (549 421) and KZN (543 580) have the highest number of fully vaccinated adults.
3. How do you work out how many people have been fully vaccinated? @healthza has a dashboard: bit.ly/3y9JEJV
Total full vaccinations = #JnJ shots (1, 242, 236, you need 1 shot) + #Pfizer 2nd shots (1, 194, 931, you need 2 shots) = 2, 437 167
