Phase 1B of vaccination is starting on the 17 May 2021 for the 60s plus, We appeal to individuals and public to ensure that all our elders are registered on the EVDS Registration SA Site/link (Electronic Vaccination Data system). You need a data device to register. All that is needed on the EVDS System is (1). Identity document, (2). full address, and (3). cellphone number. These important details must be brought to the Vaccine Site for verification (write the correct address and cellphone number for elders).
For those who might struggle to register, a team have been dispatched to different identified vaccination sites/facilities across the district to also help with registrations for vaccine on the EVDS (Electronic Vaccine Data System) Site.
