JOHANNESBURG — The Health Department plans to commence phase two of the vaccine roll-out by mid-May to the end of October.
The department’s mission is to vaccinate as many people ahead of a possible third wave.
Health Minister Zweli Mkhize said that plans to inoculate 16 million people during phase two remained on track.
"After that, after October of course, everybody else who has not been vaccinated will have to come in, starting with those who will be in congregate settings and risk and so on."
The electronic vaccination data system went live on Friday, 16 April, allowing elderly South Africans to register to get their COVID-19 vaccinated when the second phase of the roll-out program starts.
Health Minister Zweli Mkhize is on a countrywide tour to assess the readiness of provinces for the mass vaccination campaign.
