First 1 million Covid-19 vaccines to arrive in SA on 1 February

Published on

Health Minister Zweli Mkhize announced that the flight carrying the first batch of Covid-19 vaccines will arrive at Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport on Monday, 1 February.

Phase One of the vaccine will be delivered using three platforms, which includes work-based programmes, mobile teams and vaccination centres.

The Electronic Vaccine Data System (EVDS) will be used to track who has been vaccinated, and you will be able to download a vaccination certificate.
Health care workers will be enrolled on the electronic booking system for now, and notified where and when they will be vaccinated.
