City geared for ‘Vooma’ vaccination weekend
23 September 2021
The City of Cape Town has finalised its logistics for the upcoming national vaccination weekend.
Spearheaded by the National Department of Health, the vaccination weekend between 1 and 3 October 2021, aims to reach at least 500 000 people countrywide.
The City will have a number of fixed and roving vaccination sites operating during this period, in the eight health sub-districts across the metropole.
This is the first time that weekend vaccinations will be widely available and we encourage residents who have not yet had the opportunity to get vaccinated to please make use of this opportunity.
To those who are still unsure about getting vaccinated, please reach out to your local health facility for advice and guidance, so that you may make an informed decision about your personal health and that of those around you.

Anyone, 18 years and older, can go to a vaccination site where they will be registered and vaccinated.
Residents are also able to register before going to a vaccination site. They can do so by sending the word “REGISTER” to 060 0123 456 or by dialling *134*832# on their cellphone.
The City further reminds residents to please be mindful of the following when making their way to a vaccination site:
- Make sure you know your cellphone number, or if you do not have a cellphone, take the number of a relative or a friend so that confirmation of the date for your 2nd vaccine can be sent to this number
- Take along your identity document, passport, refugee permit or asylum seeker permit number. If you do not have any form of identification, you will still be vaccinated
