(12-17 pop = 6.5 mil)
2. What % of adults have received at least 1 dose of #COVISD19 vaccine, so 1 shot of #JnJ (fully vaccinated) or 1 shot of #Pfizer (partially vaccinated)?
39% of adults, or 15.5 million people
Why is this important? @healthza
's goal = 70% of adults must have had 1 jab by Dec

3. Will we make @heatlhza's goal to have 70% of adults vaccinated with 1 dose of #JnJ/#Pfizer by Dec?
No. @healthza
is now aiming for:
70% of adults of 50+
Where are we with this?
60+: 63.13%
50-59: 56.8%
Everyone of 50+ = 60.2% (so we're 9.8% or 1 mil jabs from the goal)

4. Why is @healthza's new goal focusing on people of 50+ and not all adults?
Because they're more likely than younger people to fall seriously ill with #COVID19 + end up in hospital/die of the disease.
We need to get as many of them vaccinated as we can before a 4th wave.

5. What is @healthza doing to encourage 50+ to get vaccinated?
1. People of 60+ will get R100 shopping vouchers if they get jabbed in Nov (this is to offset transport costs, etc)
2. Pop-up sites @ pension payout points
3. Priority queues for 50+ at some sites

6. Are we slowing down with the speed at which we're vaccinating?
Yes, we've dipped to well below an average of 200 000 daily jabs.
Look at @sugan2503's graph at the left (national daily jabs) and @healthza's graph at the right (provincial weekly jabs).

7. How are we doing with jabbing teens (12 - 17 yrs)?
1. As with adults, more women than men get jabbed
- Women: 110,013
- Men: 91,633
2. About a quarter of vaccinations have happened in Gauteng
3. We've covered 3.1% of the 12-17 yrs population (6.5 mil)
