It is thought that vaccinating 70% or more of the adult population can minimise the impact of the fourth wave. The Department of Health (DoH) further reminds the public that those who received a two-dose vaccine need to return for their second dose at 42 days.
All Gauteng sites, both private and public, accept walk-ins whether people are registered on the EVDS or not.
