Receiving your COVID-19 vaccine
Register for your vaccine
Register on the national Electronic Vaccination Data System (EVDS) in order to get your vaccine.
Book for your vaccine
You can now do a walk-in for your vaccine at Dis-Chem or Clicks.
You will still receive an SMS from the EVDS with your vaccination code and the location of your vaccination site, if you choose to go there.
Alternatively, you can choose to make a booking at one of our partners. A full list of vaccination sites is available on the sacoronavirus portal.
Get your vaccine
On the day of your vaccination, here is what you can expect:
- Make sure you have your identity document or passport, and medical scheme membership card on hand. Please stay seated until it's your turn to be vaccinated.
- At the vaccination station you will complete a short pre-vaccination medical questionnaire and grant consent to be vaccinated. The vaccinator will then administer your vaccine.
- Relax in the observation area for a minimum of 15 minutes. This is a routine requirement to ensure a medical professional is close by should you develop an adverse reaction to the vaccine.
