JOHANNESBURG – Elderly South Africans will from 4pm on Friday be able to register for the second phase of the country's vaccine program.

#COVID19vaccine Government urges the elderly to only register after 4pm today, as the site is only in demonstration mode at the moment. “You must have your ID and medical aid card, if you have one, when you register. When you register, it’s very important that you put the correct cellphone number, the address where you live and the correct medical aid number, if you have one. Remember that registration does not guarantee that you will be vaccinated immediately.”The Health Department, meanwhile, reiterated its commitment that patients' data would not be shared with any third party.
