Education MEC Tate Makgoe told OFM News they are pleased the vaccination programme is proceeding well, despite glitches that were experienced on the first day at the Gonyane Primary School. 

As the programme enters its third day, Makgoe highlighted that the province aims to complete the vaccination of all 32 000 people in the education sector within 10 days. Education Minister Angie Motshekga on Sunday, during a media briefing, announced that all provinces have 14 days to complete the vaccination process. 

OFM News has reported that the province managed to vaccinate more than 4 200 on the first day on Wednesday. Of the 32 000 people in the education sector, 26 000 are educators. 

Makgoe has since dispelled rumours that there might be a shortage of vaccines in the province and assured the public that all educators and non-teaching staff will be inoculated.
