Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Africa<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>CAPE TOWN \u2013 South African citizens who want to receive a Covid-19 vaccine and are over the age of 60 will now be able register through the Electronic Vaccination Data System (EVDS) from 4pm today.<\/p>\n

This morning, Health Minister Zweli Mkhize officially launched the Covid-19 Electronic Vaccination Data System for people who are 60 years and above.<\/p>\n

Mkhize also said that the registration does not guarantee that a person will be vaccinated immediately.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will use the Information you provide when you register to communicate with you about the vaccination programme when necessary. The data from the system assists us to allocate the vaccines to the vaccine service points, ensuring that enough vaccines are available on a particular vaccination day,\u201d Mkhize said.<\/p>\n

The launch forms part of the preparations for the second phase which is expected to start from May 17.<\/p>\n

The Health Department\u2019s acting chief operating officer, Dr Milani Wolmarans, said the system is only in demo mode for now and will be live at 4pm today.<\/p>\n

The portal is only in English, but Minister Mkhize said the portal will be in different languages in the next two weeks.<\/p>\n

How to register<\/b><\/p>\n

To register, people need to have access to the internet, their ID number or passport, and general contact information, including a cellphone number.<\/p>\n

Other required information includes your primary employer and location of work, professional registration details, and medical aid.<\/p>\n

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

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

\u201cFor now, let us allow our senior citizens to register on the EVDS system. When we are ready to register citizens in other age groups, we will make an announcement,\u201d Mkhize said.<\/p>\n
