Mediclinic Potchefstroom is now also operating a Covid-19 vaccination centre, providing access for any eligible member of the public who still needs to be vaccinated.

The vaccination centre will operate between 08:00 and 13:00 from Monday to Friday and will be offering the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. It operates on an appointment basis, to ensure that those allocated to the hospital’s facilities by the EVDS system are prioritised and that there is sufficient stock for these individuals. Phone 018 293 7000 for appointments and follow the option to go to vaccination enquiries. Limited walk-ins will be accepted where EVDS vaccination appointments have not been met.

“As this pandemic continues to progress throughout South Africa, Mediclinic strongly emphasises the need for the public to protect their health and the health of others by being vaccinated against Covid-19. Vaccination protects against becoming severely ill from the virus and reduces the risk of death. We ask community members to please assist others who need help with registering,” says Dr Gerrit de Villiers, the chief clinical officer of Mediclinic Southern Africa.

De Villiers advises those who are eligible to register for the vaccination and go to their local hospital to be vaccinated. Patients need to report at the main entrance, where people will direct and assist them.
