The South African public broadcaster has opened a pop-up Covid-19 vaccination site at the SABC's Auckland Park headquarters in Johannesburg for 3 days starting today until Saturday and that is for SABC staff, service providers, and the public.
The SABC follows other broadcasters like the MultiChoice pay-TV operator in Randburg that opened a Covid-19 vaccination site in its staff parkade in July.
THe SABC says that it is working with the Gauteng department of health to help and try vaccinate as many people as possible.
"This is an important partnership for the SABC as we believe we have a collective responsibility and duty to fight Covid-19," says Madoda Mxakwe, SABC CEO.
"We have committed our resources and facilities to provide better access to vaccination to all South Africans. As part of our commitment to fulfilling our mandate, it is our plan that through this partnership, this service will be extended to other SABC provincial offices."
The South African public will be able to go for Covid-19 vaccine injections at the site until 16:00 on Thursday 26, between 08:00 and 16:00 on Friday and between 08:00 and 16:00 on Saturday 28 August.
