GEORGE NEWS - Mediclinic Geneva's Covid-19 vaccination centre has surpassed the 12 000 vaccination mark.

"The centre provides access for any eligible member of the public who still needs to be vaccinated," said Dr Gerrit de Villiers, chief clinical officer of Mediclinic Southern Africa.

The vaccination centre is operating on an appointment basis to ensure that those allocated to the facility by the electronic vaccination data system (EVDS) are prioritised and that there is sufficient stock for these individuals. Limited walk-ins will be accepted where EVDS vaccination appointments have not been met.

The vaccination centre operates from Tuesday to Friday between 08:00 and 14:00 and offers the Pfizer vaccine.

"As this pandemic continues to progress throughout South Africa, Mediclinic would strongly emphasise the need for the public to protect their own health and the health of others by being vaccinated against Covid-19. 

"Once you are eligible, register yourself for the vaccination and then go to be vaccinated. Vaccination protects against becoming severely ill from the virus, as well as reducing the risk of death," said De Villiers.
