Vax facts
- Three out of every five people aged 50 plus are either fully vaccinated or have had their first Pfizer dose.
- The fourth wave is likely to hit South Africa early in the new year.
- Over 80% of Covid-19 deaths so far have occurred in people over 50. The Department of Health wants to prevent every death, but aims to reduce the impact of the fourth wave by vaccinating more than 85% of people aged 50 and older. That means providing first-dose vaccinations to at least 3.6 million more people aged 50 and above by the end of the year.
- At the same time, every adult in South Africa is urged to get vaccinated as well as those children aged 12-17 who want to, or are at high risk because of co-morbidities.
