The Gauteng Provincial Government calls on employers and any institution that would like their employees to get COVID-19 jab to forward their requests.

A mobile vaccination site will be set up and education regarding COVID-19 and vaccine will be provided. 

Requests must be sent to: popupsite@gauteng.gov.za or call the Gauteng Hotline on: 0800 22 88 27.

"So far many employers have partnered with government and are setting up vaccination sites at their business premises to improve access to vaccines for their employees and surrounding communities."

As at 7 October 2021, 4.9 million vaccinations have been administered and 2.3 million people have been fully vaccinated in Gauteng.

To vaccinate as many people as possible ahead of the fourth wave, the Gauteng province has embarked on an intense 14-week drive targeting areas with low vaccine uptake since 30 August 2021.

The vaccination process has been simplified to make it easier for all eligible people to get the jab at various sites such as mobile pop-up sites, taxi ranks, pharmacies, and workplaces.
