The Free State Department of Health has continued to increase their vaccination programme in trying to curb the pandemic.

The Boikhuco Old Age Home is now also being used as a vaccination site, as the department tries to reach more elderly people.

In an attempt to reach more 60-year-olds and above, the department invited residents of Seven Days, Bochabela, Sports, and Matlhomola to take 60-year-olds and above to the Boikhuco Old Age Home earlier on Wednesday. The vaccination process took place from 8 am.

The Department of Health confirmed that vaccination stations that were expected to operate on Wednesday are Ons Tuiste Old Age Home in Bloemfontein, Botshabelo Hospital, and Dr J.S. Moroka in Thaba Nchu. On Tuesday, people 60 years old and above were vaccinated at Pelonomi Hospital, Universitas Hospital, Boikhuco Old Age Home, Boiketlong in Thaba Nchu, Botshabelo Haven, and Mooihawe.

The Department of Health pleaded with community members who have access to smartphones and computers to assist older people to register them for vaccinations. People have been advised to register on EVDS systems.
