‘Vaccine hesitancy is prevalent in many communities because of widespread misinformation. The Vooma vaccination weekend gives residents an opportunity to go to one of the public health vaccination sites and have all their questions answered, but also to get vaccinated. Pre-registration is no longer a requirement, so individuals can literally arrive at a vaccination site and will be guided through the entire process.

‘Getting vaccinated means you’re less likely to end up in hospital or die should you contract Covid-19. I urge our residents to make full use of these additional opportunities before we enter the fourth wave of infections,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services and Health, Councillor Patricia van der Ross, who plans to visit the Langa and Parow Shoprite Park vaccination sites.

All eligible adults are encouraged to visit the sites, even if they have not yet registered. They will be assisted on site to register if needed.

Vaccinations will be available as per the below table:
