GARDEN ROUTE NEWS - Garden Route District Municipality (GRDM) Deputy Mayor Rosina Ruiters was one of the first 50-plusser residents of Mossel Bay to receive a Covid-19 vaccine.
Ruiters said the overall process from start to finish was well ordered.
“I need to commend the Western Cape Department of Health for the smooth, professional and safe manner in which the vaccination process was conducted. No long lines and friendly, tolerant and helpful staff, skilled to make everybody feel at ease," she said.
Ruiters urges residents in the district who are 50 years and older, who have not registered on the EVDS system yet, to do so. The SMS appointment notifications to people over the age of 50 who have successfully registered started on Friday 2 July and scheduled appointments followed from Monday 5 July.
"Let us all work together towards flattening the curve of the wave by protecting ourselves and others – wearing a mask in public, washing hands regularly with soap and water or using an alcohol-based sanitiser. Always keep a safe distance and, where possible, avoid crowded places."
