Note- there is a slight difference between the total number vaccinated and the numbers on the EVDS system. This is because we have a small number of records that are captured on paper. This occurs when there is load-shedding or internet connectivity problems and follows a clearly defined protocol. These records are back-captured at a later date.

  1. This information is not routinely captured.
  2. This information is not available at this time.
  3. Identification document or passport
