The vaccination in the country appears to move much faster, even though it was a little slow at the beginning. When the vaccines arrived in our country, they were somewhat complicated, but they were sorted and over 60 first vaccinated, because they are at a much higher risk of getting bird 19 and experiencing tougher complications at their age.
Now that the elderly are vaccinated in the country, the majority of them, the government is focused on vaccinating the younger people in our country. People in their 30s and 40s are currently being vaccinated.
President Cyril Ramaphosa indicated that people aged 18 years old and older could vaccinate on 1 September 2021, but the date seemed to have been shifted to an earlier date.
The good news for those 18 years and older is that you may be vaccinated in the next few weeks and you won't have to wait until September 1 to get your job. However, this can only happen if the cabinet approves vaccination sites for young people in the country.
In an interview on Monday with 702 Bongani Bingwa, Health Minister Joe Phaahla said that he was expanding access to vaccines to individuals over the age of 18.
"We are in further discussions with our leadership in Cabinet. Before the end of this week, we will probably open to all adults over the age of 18, "Phaahla noticed that.
The government currently welcomes the progress it is making with vaccinations and the enthusiasm to visit the vaccination site, but people who fear vaccination are still concerned about the conspiracy theories and the fake news that they hear and see in the social media.
The health service has set an objective of vaccinating completely 70% of the adult population by December, requiring South Africa to vaccinate 29 million people to achieve this.
You're going to get your jab, people over 18 years old?
