EWN reports that the Department of Basic Education (DBE) on Wednesday said the Covid-19 vaccination programme in the sector was gaining momentum.
More than 230,000 educators and other staff have been inoculated since the drive was launched a week ago. The DBE said it hoped that the vaccination programme would begin to accelerate with the closure of schools from Wednesday in adherence with alert level 4 regulations and as more Covid-19 jabs reached provinces around the country. This week, the DBE gazetted the adjusted level 4 lockdown rules for schools, which stipulate that grades R to 12 will break for winter holidays from Wednesday until 19 July. All educators and non-teaching staff will continue reporting for duty until Friday. Minister Angie Motshekga has been visiting provinces to check on their vaccination progress and to urge educators to get the jab.
