Online registration for COVID-19 vaccination

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 platform is for the registration of healthcare workers only
• This is an initiative by the National Department of Health – practitioners requiring assistance with the registration process can click here to engage the registration platform.

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.
