1. Teen (12-17 yrs) vaccinations started today. How did it go?

Teen (12-17) registrations on the #EVDS so far:

@heatlhza data:
SA: 39,109 (0.6% of teens in SA)
EC: 2,397
FS: 1,397

KZN: 5,676
LP: 1,119
MP: 831
NC: 479
NW: 1,048
WC: 10,589

2. How many 12-17 yr olds got vaccinated 2day?
@healthza says by 4pm: 6,843 (0.1% of teens)

How many teens are there in SA?
6.5 mil

What % of the total population = teens (12-17yrs)?
11%

Here's how many teens live in each province:

3. KZN has the most teens (12-17yrs) = 1,355,122. Does KZN have the highest nr of #EVDS registrations?

No, only the 3rd highest = 5,676, so 0.42% teens have registered so far. (GP and WC have more)

4. GP has the 2nd most teens (12-17 yrs) = 1,316,180
Does GP have the 2nd highest nr of #EVDS registrations?

No, GP has the highest nr = 15,573, so 1.2% have teens have registered so far. (WC = 2nd, 10,589)

5. What is @healthza's goal for teen (12-17 yrs) vaccinations?

50% (3.25 mil) of teens by 12 Jan 2022 (when school starts)

If we work with 5 day wks, there are 60 days for vaccination until 11 Jan. That means we need to vaccinate about 54,000 teens/day to reach the goal.
