JOHANNESBURG - The Gauteng Health Department will be setting up pop-up vaccination sites at Park Station in the Johannesburg CBD on Thursday morning to target commuters ahead of the Easter long weekend.
Although the state of disaster was lifted earlier this week after two years, health officials are urging residents to make sure that their jabs were up to date. The department will also be launching another Vooma Weekend starting on Friday, with the aim of vaccinating undocumented people in particular.
Spokesperson Kwara Kekana said: "It is important that those who are yet to get the jab are vaccinated because the coronavirus is still in our midst. Everyone, including young people, are at risk of severe illness and hospitalisation should they contact the coronavirus."
