Deputy Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment to embark on a Vooma vaccination drive in North West
The Deputy Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, Ms Makhotso Sotyu will lead the government’s Vooma Vaccination drive in Taung, North West province on Saturday 2 October 2021.
As announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa, the Vooma Vaccination Weekends campaign aims to entourage South Africans to get vaccinated, as the government aims to administer an additional 16 million vaccine doses this year, which amounts to around 250,000 first dose vaccinations every single workday of every week until mid-December.
The Vooma Vaccination Weekends are also an opportunity to acknowledge the immense contribution made by the frontline health workers and health service managers – from community health workers who have gone door-to-door encouraging people to go to vaccination sites to staff members at the sites and outreach vehicles and in health facilities across the country.
