Sisonke teams across the country are working flat-out to meet their target of vaccinating 500,000 healthcare workers by the end of this week.

For the final week, the definition of healthcare workers has been broadened to include laboratory staff, researchers, care home workers, people working for multilateral health agencies and medical scheme administrators.

The SA Health Products Regulatory Authority temporarily suspended the Sisonke study on April 13, the same day the US Food and Drug Administration paused its J&J rollout to investigate extremely rare and severe blood clots detected in six out of 6.8 million Americans vaccinated. The study resumed on April 28.
