[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?

#Phaahla:
Which countries accept SA's digital vaccination certificate?

[Thread]

SA = not yet negotiated with countries, @HealthZA 1st needed 2 upgrade the security features of the cards

Why? Whether a country accepts a card depends on the features = in place 2 prevent fraud
2. Have any of the #VaccineRollOutSA digital vaccine certificate security features been upgraded so far?

Yes. The QR code on the cards will go live next week. That means 3rd parties will be able to scan the code to verify if the data on the card is valid.
3. What security features on #VaccineRollOutSA digital vaccine certificates still need to be upgraded?

A digital/cryptographic signature needs to be added. #JoePhaahla says that will go live by the end of Nov (you'll then have to download a new card).

LATEST #VaccineRollOutSA: Fri, 5 Nov

[Thread]

1. Jabs, past 24 hrs: 126,598 (Thu: 152,049 )
Adults: 109,827
12-17: 16,771

2. Total doses: 23,101,617

3. Adults fully vaccinated: 12,823,833 (32%)
(18+ pop = 40.1mil)

4. 12-17, 1 #Pfizer: 201,646 (3.1%)
(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)

[Thread] BREAKING 1. Real-world @Discovery_SA data on how well #Pfizer's two-dose #COVID19 jab works in SA:

14 days to 3 months after taking the 2nd shot: :
- 94% effectiveness @ COVID-related death
- 92% effectiveness @ COVID-related hospitalisation
2. What is real-world effectiveness?

It’s data from an actual vaccine roll-out. During studies jabs = used under tightly controlled conditions. In the real world those conditions = more fluid. Real-world data = how well jabs work outside of a trial.
3. Is there a difference between the protection offered by 1 dose of the #Pfizer jab and 2 doses?

Yes.

- 1 dose = 78% effective @ hospitalisation (28 days after you’ve had a jab)
- 2 doses = 94% effective @ hospitalisation (14 days after the 2nd jab)

[Thread] 1. What's happening with #COVID vaccine boosters in SA?

Nicholas Crisp, @heatlhza:
1. SA = not yet vaccinated enough people to focus on boosters for large groups of people
2. HCWs = special group as they get exposed to #COVIVD19 more so their infection risk = higher
2. Crisp:
1. Some #HealthWorkers vaccinated in the #Sisonke trial were vaccinated 8 months ago, so they may need booster shots
2. They will receive 2nd #JnJ doses in a study starting in Nov
3. What about people with weak immune systems who may need boosters?
Crisp:
The MAC has advised that people with a specific set of immunocompromised conditions get a 3rd #Pfizer/2nd #JnJ dose 28 days after they were fully vaccinated. This is not a booster, but an extra dose.

[THREAD] 1. How will voting stations prepare for Election Day?

Each station will have:
1. Hand sanitisers
2. Bins to dispose of cotton-buts used for inking/PPE
3. Posters clarifying procedures
4. Canisters with disinfectant voting stations before opening and after closing
2. All voting materials used at voting stations will be sanitised, including pens. It's preferred for voters to bring their own pens (to reduce the #COVID infection risk), but pens will also be provided and sanitised before and after each person using them.
3. What will happen with special votes (this will happen on Sat and Sun)? Officials will follow preplanned routes to people's homes and tick special voters off a list as they have cast their vote.
