[THREAD] 1. What type of booster dose will #Sisonke trial participants (health workers) receive?

A 2nd #JnJ shot (they all received a first #JnJ shot).
2. Will #Sisonke trial participants (#HealthWorkers) receive their booster doses as part of a trial/study?

YES. There will be a 2nd Sisonke study.
3. Where will the booster doses for #Sisonke trial participants come from? #JnJ will donate research doses (they did this for the first study too).
4. How soon after their 1st shot will #Sisonke trial participants (#HealthWorkers) receive their 2nd booster #JnJ shot?

That depends on how soon @SAHPRA1 approves the research protocol for the study (trial participants received their 1st JnJ doses between February + May 2021).
5. How many trial participants will there be in the 2nd #Sisonke study? Ideally, all 496,690 participants who participated in the first Sisonke study (screen grab = @healthza's dashboard).

[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)

[Thread] #JoePhaahla: We note the allegations of financial misconduct against @healthza DDG Anban Pillay (Pillay was the acting DG in the health dpt when the #DigitalVibes contract was awarded).
2. #JoePhaahla: There is possible misconduct from 9 gov officials. Not all 9 are working in @healthza. The chief financial officer has moved to another dpt. There are 6 officials in @healthza who we may need to take action @. If we add the suspended DG (Sandile Buthelezi) = 7.
3. #JoePhaahla: @healthza will institute disciplinary action @ implicated officials in the SIU's #DigitalVibes report as a matter of urgency. All those implicated by the SIU will receive suspension letters by the end of today (Thu, 30 Sep), incl DDG Anban Pillay.
