Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Africa<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>CAPE TOWN – As of April 16, South Africans will be able to register electronically on the Electronic Vaccination Data System (EVDS) in order to be scheduled for vaccination.<\/p>\n

Registration will be open for all but the vaccines will be rolled out in two phases on May 17 and October 17.<\/p>\n

The EVDS is linked to the supply chain management and will be used to track the availability of doses in specific regions.<\/p>\n

The web-based application EVDS is accessible via multiple devices, including mobile and desktop. It will provide the public with two options for registration, which will either be self-registration or assisted registration.<\/p>\n

With self-registration, individuals would have to log into a web portal and register themselves and those who are unable to self-register could visit walk-in centres and vaccination sites.<\/p>\n

What is needed to register on EVDS?<\/b><\/p>\n

To self-register on EVDS you need a South African ID number or passport and you must be over the age of 18.<\/p>\n

Self-enrolment<\/b><\/p>\n

The first step of the registration process is completing a digital enrolment form which must include the following personal details:<\/p>\n

Once the Department of Health deems a person eligible for a vaccine after they have registered, they will receive an SMS with all needed information in order to proceed.<\/p>\n

The SMS will come with a unique vaccination code which must be used to verify the applicant\u2019s appointment during the next phase.<\/p>\n

Provision will also be made at vaccination sites for those who couldn\u2019t access the electronic system.<\/p>\n

On-site registration<\/b><\/p>\n

Health Minister Zweli Mkhize said: \u201cAll steps of the vaccination process will be available through walk-in services where people will be helped to register.Those unable to self-register can visit walk-in centres and vaccination sites.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vaccination sites<\/b><\/p>\n

Vaccinations will be set up in public venues such as schools, halls and shopping centres, as well as GP practices, hospitals, clinics and pharmacies.<\/p>\n

According to Dr Lesley Bamford, the department\u2019s chief director, government will provide over 2 000 additional vaccination sites to ensure and support the roll-out plan.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople will be screened for Covid-19 at the vaccination sites and those with symptoms will not be vaccinated but referred for testing,\u201d said Bamford.<\/p>\n
