Ekurhuleni’s health practitioners will work with Sassa to target social grant pay points and churches to register citizens aged 60 years and older who want to be next in line to receive the Covid-19 vaccination.
MMC for health and social services Clr Nomadlozi Nkosi said the City wants to ensure no one who wishes to be vaccinated is left out from registering on EVDS, regardless of their access to an internet connection.
