[THREAD] 1. From when will teens (12-17 years) be able to register on the #EVDS for #COVID vaccinations?
- Wed, 20 Oct (vaccinated = same day)
2. Do teens need their parents' consent to get vaccinated?

Nicholas Crisp, @heatlhza:
- NO. Because the Children's Act says kids of 12-17 can give own consent for medical treatment. The #EVDS will be adjusted over the weekend so that teens are able to register themselves.
3. What is @heatlhza's goal with the nr of teen vaccinations?

They'd like to have half of all teens vaccinated before the end of the December school holidays (that's about 3.25 million people between 12 and 17). Here's where they live:

[THREAD] 1. Q&A: Digital #COVID19 vaccine card answers

Why has @heatlhza made the digital vaccine card website live if it isn't fully ready for use?

They have to test the functionality of the site in a live environment (run tests while the site is live).
2. Is the #COVID19 digital vaccination card site fully functional yet?

No, tests are still being run. The site will be fully functional on Friday morning, when SA’s digital vaccination cards will be officially launched.
3. If you’ve managed to download a #COVID19 digital vaccination card on Tu/We, is the card valid?

Yes, but not indefinitely. It will eventually be replaced with an updated version with more security measures (all cards will be replaced, not just the ones downloaded before Fri).

[Thread] 1. #Ramaphosa:
1. 60% of 60+ and 50% of people of 50-59 years have received at least one #COVID vaccine dose
2. @healthza's goal = to vaccinate 70% of adults by the end of the year. This could save up to 20 000 lives.
2. #Ramaphosa:
1. To reach the goal of vaccinating 70% of adults by the end of 2021, we need to vaccinate 16 mil more this year
2. That means we need to vaccinate 250 000 people each week day
3. #Ramaphosa
1. SA is launching #VoomaVaccination weekend on Friday. This weekend is the first in a series of Vooma weekends.
2. Why? Because not enough people are turning up for vaccinations (we need to do 250 000 per day to reach our goal; today we did 146 190)
