[Thread] 1. Five provinces in SA have fully vaccinated more than a third of adults against #COVID19.

Fully vaccinated = 1 shot of #JnJ or 2 shots of #Pfizer.

1. Limpopo: 41.6%
2. WC: 38.7%
3. FS: 38.3%
4. EC: 37%
5. NC: 33.5%

SA (national) fully vaccinated % = 32.5%

2. What is our goal?

We want to vaccinate 70% of people of 50+ with one shot of #COVID19 vaccine by the end of December (so before a 4th wave).

Where are we?
60+: 63.31%
50-59: 57.11%

3. Has any province covered 70% of people of 60+ with 1 #COVID19 vaccine shot?

Yes, Limpopo has vaccinated 76.17% of people of 60+ with one dose of vaccine (1 #JnJ or 1 #Pfizer shot).

WC isn't far off: 69.12% of 60+ = covered with 1 shot. (EC, KZN and FS = all above 65%)

4. Has any province covered 70% of people between 50-59 years with 1 shot of #COVID19 vaccine?

No.

The province that comes closest to this is Limpopo at 67.23%. EC = 67% and FS = 64.28%. The rest of the provinces = all below 60%.

5. If we look at the 60+ and 50-59 populations together (so if we look at 50+), how far are we off the goal of getting 70% covered with 1 #COVID19 jab by the end of Dec?

Nationally, we've covered 60.42% of the 50+ population with 1 jab. LP = reached the goal (72.22%).

6. How many more people of 50+ do we need to vaccinate to have 70% of them covered by the end of Dec?

50+ population = 10,322,753
People of 50+ covered with 1 shot = 6,236,875 (60.42%)

70% of 50+ = 7,225,927
7,225,927 - 6,236,875 (people covered) = 989,052 (9.6% of 50+)

7. Where does the data in this thread come from?
