Pretoria News reports that the official launch of the SA National Defence Force (SANDF) Covid-19 vaccine roll-out was postponed on Thursday due to technical challenges.
The launch of the programme had been scheduled to take place at the Military Medical Centre situated within the Waterkloof Air Force Base in Pretoria. SANDF spokesperson Siphiwe Dlamini said the actual launch of the vaccination programme had been postponed due to technical, internal and operational processes they needed to make sure were in place before making any further pronouncements. However, Dlamini said despite the postponement of the launch, the planned roll-out of vaccinations of members would continue in all other areas that were initially earmarked. Dlamini said they would like to cover as many members as possible, in particular those that were on the frontline such as the deployed members and members that were on courses where they congregated in large numbers. According to the force, 16 vaccination sites have been identified for the purpose of inoculating uniformed, civilian and extended members of the military community across the country. The voluntary inoculation programme will prioritise regular force members, including reserve force members on call-up.
