29 September 2021
The Mpumalanga Provincial Government will host the Vooma Vaccination Weekend Campaigns scheduled to take place this coming weekend as from Friday 01 – 03 October 2021. The Vooma Vaccination Weekend Campaign is aimed at increasing the uptake by encouraging citizens to vaccinate in order to protect themselves, their families and their communities before the possible fourth wave of COVID-19 infections.All vaccination sites throughout the province will be opened during the weekend, and the goal for the campaign is to achieve 70 percent coverage of adults who would have vaccinated by the end of December 2021.
The provincial leadership, accompanied by Deputy Minister of Health, Dr Sibongiseni Dhlomo, Executive Mayors, personalities and the clergy will visit designated areas following the concerns of low numbers of people who have been vaccinated, to encourage them.
