The facility opened in August of 2021, with a drive-through component that was introduced in September of 2021 to facilitate easier access to Covid-19 vaccines for Mother City residents.

Deputy General at the Western Cape Department of Health, Dr. Saadiq Kariem says that more than 80,000 doses of vaccine had been administered at the site.

He encourages residents to visit the City’s other available vaccination sites to get their Covid-19 injections.
