POLOKWANE – The Limpopo Department of Health continues to reach out to the public through various outreach vaccination programmes throughout the city.
In an continuous effort to fight Covid-19 in the province the health MEC Dr Phophi Ramathuba will once again bring the vaccination roll-out to the residents.
Oosskool will serve as a vaccination site for one day only and Ramathuba encourages residents who are 18 years old and above and residing around the area, use the opportunity to get their Covid-19 jab.
“We call upon the 18-34 year old category to seize the opportunity and visit our approved vaccination site to be vaccinated. It’s important to continue to encourage vaccine-hesitant friends and family about the need for everyone to get vaccinated so we can end the pandemic”. said Ramathuba.
