The total number of people vaccinated under the Sisonke Programme for health workers is 479,768. These vaccinations were with the one-dose Johnson & Johnson shot. The number has been adjusted as a result of data verification processes over the weekend in preparation for the finalisation of a public-facing live dashboard, said the department.
“The number reflected today is a result of this process, which removed duplications and vaccinations assigned incorrectly to Sisonke.”
The number of tests conducted to date is 11,452,185. Of these, 45,877 were conducted since the last report.
The overall number of Covid-19 cases identified in SA since the start of the pandemic is 1,645,555.
Cumulative recoveries now stand at 1,546,583 — representing a recovery rate of 94%.
