“By collaborating in this way, the CTICC will be one of the largest and most sophisticated vaccination sites in the country, leveraging the combined resources and capacity of both the public and private sector, and thereby accelerating access to vaccination for greater numbers of residents,” the provincial government said.The CTICC mass vaccination site is expected to administer more than 750 000 vaccinations over 6 months.
Vaccinations will be free of charge for everyone visiting the site, enabled by payment agreements between medical aids and the Department of Health to provide a hassle-free experience to all residents. Premier Alan Winde welcomed the collaboration and thanked Discovery Health for supporting the vaccination programme in the Western Cape and South Africa.
“I hope this is the first of many more public-private sector collaborations in this space, and I look forward to the site opening soon.” “We are particularly proud that this site will provide access to vaccines for all residents, including Discovery Health members, members of other medical schemes and people who do not have medical aid.”
