Public urged to continue getting their vaccines and booster shots

The Gauteng Health Department has encouraged those who have not gotten their second jab to do so at their nearest vaccination site. Those who have had their first Pfizer vaccine dose can get their second one at any vaccination site in Gauteng and therefore are not needed to return to the site where they received their first jab.

They also urged those over the age of 18 to get their booster shots as soon as possible. According to the department, those who received two doses of the Pfizer vaccine are eligible to receive a booster dose of the same vaccine after 180 days while those who received the J&J vaccine are eligible for a booster shot of the same vaccine after 60 days.

Pre-registration is not mandatory as walk-ins will be allowed, all that will be needed is your identity document.
