Festive Season: eThekwini will close vaccination sites due to low turnout

eThekwini is set to close vaccination sites during the festive season holidays, including the beachfront pop-up.

The city is currently in its fourth wave of infections.

City spokesperson Msawakhe Mayisela said the sites would close for the following days:

– All public holidays
– 25 December 2021 – 27 December 2021
– 31 December 2021 – 1 January 2022

The City has also raised concerns about the healthcare workers being infected.
