Over 90 000 vaccinations done in Garden Route

GARDEN ROUTE NEWS - The Garden Route has administered 90 139 Covid-19 vaccines to date, according to district health spokesperson Nadia Ferreira.

In light of the steep increase in reported Covid-19 cases and admissions placing hospitals under severe pressure, George Hospital CEO Michael Vonk and Mediclinic George manager Kassie Karstens are encouraging residents who are eligible to get vaccinated, and every person in the Garden Route to stick to Covid protocols, as this will help alleviate the pressure on hospitals.

The EVDS system is accepting registration and scheduling appointments for people of 35 years and older. Ferreira said 35 public vaccination sites are currently operational.

The priorities for walk-ins are as follows:

Priority 1: People 60 years and older requiring their 1st and 2nd dose of the Pfizer vaccine.

Priority 2: People aged 50 to 59 years requiring their 1st dose of Pfizer vaccine.

Priority 3. People aged 35 to 49 requiring their 1st dose of Pfizer vaccine.

Vaccinations on the day will be guided by local demand at the specific site.
