Premier Chupu Stanley Mathabatha leads COVID-19 vaccination expansion programme to Primary Health Care facilities in Limpopo, 17 Sept

Limpopo Premier, Mr Chupu Stanley Mathabatha will lead the COVID-19 vaccination expansion programme to Primary Health Care (PHC) facilities. This initiative is aimed at increasing access to daily COVID-19 vaccines through clinics and health facilities. The Premier will be accompanied by Health MEC Dr Phophi Ramathuba.
'We have decided to open clinics and health care facilities as a way to expand our vaccination program and increase access to vaccines. We encourage our people to make use of the window period where our provincial COVID-19 cases are low and visit our clinics and health care facilities to get vaccinated to avoid the aftermath of the predicted fourth wave', says Premier Mathabatha.
'We want to see everyone being vaccinated so that we quickly reach herd immunity. I am certain that we all want to get back to our normal lives and open the economy. Bring your ID or Driver's license to the vaccination site and get your jab', added Premier Mathabatha.
The launch is scheduled as follows:
Date: Friday, 17 September 2021
Venue: Semenya Clinic, Ga-Semenya Village
