Business for South Africa (B4SA) has made an announcement that all private sector vaccination sites across South Africa will now accept walk-ins for anyone eligible for vaccination – regardless of whether they are insured or not. B4SA is responsible for coordinating the private sector’s work with the government to roll out the national vaccination programme.
The group stated that sites will now accept anyone for vaccination who has ID, passport or other form of identification, regardless of their nationality.
These private sector vaccination sites include: independent community pharmacies and corporate pharmacy chains, such as Dis-Chem and Clicks, private hospitals and medical scheme vaccination sites.
B4SA has also confirmed that while sites will prioritize those with scheduled appointment and those who are over the age of 60, no person above the age of 35 is required to pre-register before visiting a site for a vaccination. Private sites are ensuring that their staff is equipped and ready to assist people in registering once they arrive.
However to save time and prevent a long wait in queues, the public is encouraged to pre-register on the EVDS before visiting a site for vaccination.
A full list of private sector vaccination sites, by province, with addresses and telephone numbers, can be found below:
