The HPCSA encourage healthcare practitioners to register for the COVID-19 vaccination programme.
The National Department of Health’s new Electronic Vaccine Data System (EVDS) allows clinicians register to get their COVID-19 immunisation ahead of the governments vaccination rollout in the next coming weeks.
Health workers are among the first group to be vaccinated and have been urged to self-register on vaccine.enroll.health.gov.za. Please note the following important considerations regarding EVDS:
The HPCSA welcomes the National Department of Health’s detailed vaccination strategy. “There is scientific evidence as supported by the World Health Organisation and the Centre for Disease Control that the vaccine is the best defence and is extremely effective.
The HPCSA encourages all healthcare practitioners, especially those on the frontline to utilise the various platforms available, both in the public and private sector to register for the vaccination programme,” the Council said.
All Healthcare Workers (public and private) who intend to be vaccinated in Phase 1 must enroll via EVDS.
