[Thread] 1. How many #COVIDVaccines will SA receive in Aug?
Nicholas Crisp, @healthza:
1. We no longer have a supply shortage
2. The slide below shows delivery dates + doses. It takes a week for doses to get to sites after arrival (clearance, quality testing, distribution).
2. How many adults have registered for #COVID vaccinations?
Crisp:
1. Registrations have been disappointing
2. 9.2 mil (out of 40 mil = 23%) adults have registered
3. 60+ = age group with the largest % registered (3.5 mil out of 5 mil = 70%)
3. Crisp:
1. Vaccinations = slowed down by SA's vaccine shortage 2 wks ago (see slide)
2. We've lost momentum: We now have enough supply, but demand has decreased
3. There will defs be a 4th wave, but we don't know when + which variant will be dominant (could be a new one)
4. How many #COVID vaccine doses has SA administered?
Crisp:
1. About 9.2 mil (by the end of Aug 12)
2. Of the 9.2 mill
* 2 mil = #JnJ
* 7.2 mil = #Pfizer
3. Total doses = different from nr of people vaccinated (see next slide)
5. How many people has SA vaccinated?
1. Fully vaccinated (1 #JnJ dose or 2 #Pfizer doses): 3.9 mil
2. Vaccinated = people who have received 1 dose of vaccine (1 #JnJ/1 #Pfizer dose, so "vaccinated" people include some fully vaccinated [JnJ] + half vaccinated [Pfizer]): 7.2 mil
6. The green graph (top right) shows how daily vaccinations are increasing or decreasing. The red arrow shows how daily jabs have been decreasing over the past 2 weeks.

Crisp: "We should learn from Limpopo - go into villages, every jab counts".
7. This slide shows the distribution of vaccinations among age groups.
Crisp:
1. 60+ vaccinations = picking up well
2. 50-59 vaccinations = not picking up fast enough
3. Too few men = getting vaccinated which means more men than women will end up in hospital or die of #COVID.
8. How many adults does @healthza want to have vaccinated by Dec?
Crisp:
1. 28 mil/70% (out of 40 mil)
2. To reach 28 mil people, the dpt aims to administer 35 mil doses, so the % of the 28 mil = fully or half vaccinated, will depend on how doses = split between #JnJ + #Pfizer
9. Our biggest #VaccineRollOutSA challenge has shifted from a supply shortage to a decline in demand:
Crisp:
1. 35-49 = not sustained interest
2. Men = disappointing

[Thread] Joe Phaahla: 1. Despite the downward trend in #COVID19SA cases, SA is still in its third wave. It's like a relay race: as cases in 1 province goes down, cases in another province take over.
2. Joe Phaahla: Cases in Gauteng are clearly down, but cases in the Western Cape have now taken over: over the last 7 days, the WC has taken the lead with the most new daily #COVID19 infections, active cases and hospitalisations.
3. Joe Phaahla: Nationally, SA's active #COVID19 cases have decreased by 7% over the past week and hospital admissions by 4.4%, so there is a little bit of relief on hospitals.

JUST IN: [Thread] 1. #VaccineRollOutSA stats: Tu, 10 Aug

* 9.3 % of SA adults have been fully vaccinated @ #COVID19 (1 #JnJ jab/2 #Pfizer shots) *

1. Jabs, past 24 hrs: 176, 752 (Last Tu: 191, 721)
2. Total doses: 8, 811, 608
3. Adults fully vaccinated: 3, 719, 508 (9.3%) ImageImageImage
2. How many #JnJ shots did we do today?
Answer: 48, 246 (shots which were entered into the #EVDS, which is where @HealthZA's dashboard draws data from).

Not reflected, are the paper record doses (some sites do these), which will only be added in the coming days or weeks. Image
3. Have we used the +/- 50 000 #JnJ doses we had this morning and that will expire at 23:50 tonight (Tu)?

We don't yet officially know, but we've likely come close:
50 000 - 48, 246 = 1 754 (doses left, but these could be paper record doses not yet entered into the #EVDS).

[Thread]. 1. Our first batch of 1.5 million #JnJ doses expires today (Tuesday) at 11:59pm. How many doses were left by this morning (Tuesday)?

@HealthZA says: Just under 50 000
2. Will we be able to use all of the about 50 000 #JnJ leftover doses today (Tuesday)?

Most likely — we used about 50 000 JnJ doses per day last week.
3. What happens if we can’t use all of the #JnJ doses which expire at midnight today (Tuesday)?

@HealthZA says: The doses will have to be destroyed, as they would have expired, but we won’t have to pay for unused doses.

[Thread] 1. Glenda Gray, co-lead investigator, #Sisonke:

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
