A Grade 10 pupil at Soneike High School took the initiative to get vaccinated after Health Minister Joe Phaahla announced last week that the vaccine will be available for children, between the ages of 12 and 17, from Wednesday.
Clee-Shay Riley, 16, went for her dose of the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine, at Kleinvlei Recreation Hall, shortly before noon on Wednesday, and only waited in the line for about 10 minutes to get her jab.
“I was actually looking forward to getting vaccinated. I was relieved to know that I wouldn't have to live in constant fear of contracting the virus.“A few of my friends have expressed an interest in going and I am overjoyed that we are making the right decision, by protecting ourselves and our loved ones.
