This brings the total vaccination sides in Gauteng to 129, which consists of 89 public and 40 private sites.

The additional sites come as government prepares to step up the inoculation of the elderly amid the expected arrival of more vaccines.

Gauteng Health spokesperson Kwara Kekana says the sites are spread across five municipalities in the province.

“The new sites are in public service and spread across the province. Joburg with 10, Tshwane has 5, Ekurhuleni 4, West Rand has 3 and Sedibeng also 3.”

Kekana says more and more people are now willing to get vaccinated.

“Since the start of the vaccination programme, we have seen a steady increase in the uptake of the vaccine. More and more vaccination sites are now live meaning that more people can get vaccinated closer to where they stay or work.

“We continue to encourage people to register on the EVDS which a platform is put in place to facilitate the scheduling of the vaccination programme.

“Furthermore, the Gauteng government has taken steps to ensure that all vaccination sites make adequate plans for walk-ins, no person will be turned away from vaccination sites.”
