Western Cape legislators have disagreed over calls for the EVDS system to be opened up to people over the age of 40 next, instead of moving sequentially to those aged 50 plus. covid19 Vaccine 3rdwave

“While a far faster and wider roll-out is an artificial way to stimulate the flow of people taking up the Covid-19 jab, it is undesirable to rush the process, as it may cause bottlenecks and undue pressure on the system.

“The DA looks like a spoiled kid that just wants its treat – without considering other risk groups and citizens waiting patiently. The DA must learn to wait its turn and give the health machine time to shift into a higher gear when it is ready,” said Windvogel. In making the proposal, Philander appears to be backing a measure originally suggested by MPL Peter Maraiss .

During a debate earlier in the month, Marais queried the rationale for the province’s age sequenced vaccinations and said that if people over the age of 45 were to be vaccinated at the same time as the over 60s, it would both protect the vulnerable and stabilise the economy. In a different debate on vaccination in March this year, Marais said: “Young people who frequent clubs, bars and sports stadiums are more likely to spread Covid-19 than people in old age homes and, as such, should be the first to receive the vaccine after health-care workers.”
