Health Minister Joe Phaahla says govt still struggling to get jabs into SA arms | News24

Health Minister Joe Phaahla says the government is still struggling to get South Africans vaccinated against Covid-19.About 25 million vaccine doses are available in the country.

"The vaccination programme is able to administer 250 000 vaccinations a day and all measures are in place to sustain this capability. There are at least 25 million doses of vaccine in the country. The challenge is convincing people to vaccinate, which is more difficult now because many believe that the pandemic is over purely because the impact of the fourth wave was less severe," Phaahla said.

"The youth-focused programme, #KeReady, was launched and is being driven by a team led by young health professionals. The Department of Higher Education and Higher Health has embarked on vaccination campaigns in all tertiary education institutions," he said.The NDoH is working closely with the Department of Basic Education to include vaccination in the school health service.

JasonFelix HealthZA Phaahla, take your family, your colleagues nd their families and relatives and illegal immigrants nd use those 25millions doses nd jab, reJab nd reJab etc etc. U won't have to worry about those vaccines expiring. South Africans Dont Want Vaccines!!!

JasonFelix Many SAns don't want to take the Pfizer vaccine bcoz of all these side affects and leaked documents around the vaccine. The trust had long been lost, we are not lab rats.

JasonFelix Andizi the two jabs are enough for me.this whole thing is starting to look pre planned. It looks like the game of chess.

JasonFelix People don’t want to take the vaccines because they don’t work. Period.

JasonFelix All the vaccines bought on consignment government trying to pay them off by incentives VIA Mandates being enforced by the private sector HEATHENS GOD WILL DEAL WITH YOU

JasonFelix Keep that for all news24, ENCA, SABC, NEWSAFRICA Employees

JasonFelix That fourth wave didn't go as planned, did it?

JasonFelix What do we need vaccine for? 🤔

JasonFelix

JasonFelix *YAWN*

JasonFelix Why are ANC cdes not looting these vaccines?

JasonFelix So GovernmentZA will inflate numbers to make 5th wave 'more severe' to force people to get vaccinated. End the ScamDemic now. EndTheStateOfDisaster Covidmmunism NoMoreMasks OpenTheStadiums

JasonFelix People are waking up to your bs !!

JasonFelix Good 😂😂😂😂😂😂

JasonFelix Well I have had all 3 jabs and have had no side effects, haven't had any flu or even a slight cold. So I guess it worked... But then we all have the right to choose... But to pay people to have the jab will be wrong as it would just add to our... Give me... Generation demands

JasonFelix I'm voluntarily donating mine to the needy. May God bless the receiver.

JasonFelix Why cnt the gvrnmt let us die jst like they let us live in poverty?

JasonFelix So now u need to amp up the call & ignite the false flag fire again? 🤔 tsek Move on to matters that are more important, like ensuring our qualified medical staff don’t run away to other countries; keep public hospitals staffed with qualified ppl; ensure proper nutrition for all

JasonFelix We don't need or want to 😏

JasonFelix Maybe News24 journalist’s should read Health24. Maybe the vaccination drive is failing becomes there’s really no reason to get vaccinated

JasonFelix Nobody ask them to get that many the last time I checked people were crying of unemployment

JasonFelix Truth be told, they are not trying very hard to get vaccines to the people.

JasonFelix Well, I guess you'll have to boost the pros every 3 mnths until they turn purple.

JasonFelix It’s simple to vaccinate people, we are hungry so just introduce R500 voucher to those who vaccinate simple as that. We will come in numbers Monday to Sunday most of our people are unemployed and hungry

JasonFelix Uhm, wasn’t aware that we had a fourth wave

JasonFelix So what u gonna do?..invent a 'more severe' one?

JasonFelix Then let us have a 2nd booster. A lot of people want one.

JasonFelix Let those doses go to waste

JasonFelix Fokkof and stop struggling easy!

JasonFelix He must just share it amongst the POLITICIANS

JasonFelix Oh they haven't looted the vaccine doses yet? That is quite worrying and not very typical of this government

JasonFelix Unnecessary struggle...why don't they just loot them like they do with funds
