Kouga residents 60 years and older can now be vaccinated at the first vaccination site, situated at the Humansdorp Hospital, from Monday, June 14, after they have registered. <\/p>\n

This is as the region is facing an increase in active COVID-19 cases amid a looming local third wave.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is hoped that the vaccination site will help speed up the vaccination of senior citizens, as well as reduce the surge in new COVID-19 infections and associated deaths,\u201d said Kouga Executive Mayor, Horatio Hendricks.<\/p>\n

To date, over 774 elderly residents at old age homes across the region have been vaccinated.<\/p>\n

Hendricks emphasised that the vaccination roll-out programme gave precedence to residents aged 60 and older, as they are more susceptible to the coronavirus, hospitalisation and death.<\/p>\n

\u201cResidents must be registered to qualify for the vaccination,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cOnce registered, the individual will receive an SMS confirming their registration. A follow-up SMS notifying residents of the details of their scheduled vaccination appointment will be sent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Walk-ins over 60 will be assisted only when possible, and it cannot be guaranteed that they will be vaccinated on the day. They need to have their ID, passport, or driver\u2019s licence. <\/p>\n

  • Humansdorp Hospital<\/li>\n
