[Thread] 1. Will @HealthZA achieve its latest #VaccineRollOutSA goal by the end of 2021 (today)?

No.

What's the goal?
Vaccinating 70% of people of 50+ with 1 shot of #Pfizer or #JnJ by midnight, 31 Dec 2021.

Where are we at? 64.08% (so 5.92% short of the 70% goal)

2. Is 64.08% of people of 50+ vaccinated the final figure for 2021?

No, we'll get the vax figures for today (31 Dec) tonight.

But it's unlikely to make much of a difference to the overall %, as we're currently doing fewer than 50,000 doses per day.

3. What's the breakdown for the different 50+ age groups (for 1 jab per person)?

60+: 66.08% (we've covered 3.6 mil out of a 60+) population of 5.5 mil)
50-59: 61.78% (we've covered 2.9 mil out of a 50-59 population of 4.8 mil)

#Phaahla:
Which countries accept SA's digital vaccination certificate?

[Thread]

SA = not yet negotiated with countries, @healthza 1st needed 2 upgrade the security features of the cards

Why? Whether a country accepts a card depends on the features = in place 2 prevent fraud

2. Have any of the #VaccineRollOutSA digital vaccine certificate security features been upgraded so far?

Yes. The QR code on the cards will go live next week. That means 3rd parties will be able to scan the code to verify if the data on the card is valid.

3. What security features on #VaccineRollOutSA digital vaccine certificates still need to be upgraded?

A digital/cryptographic signature needs to be added. #JoePhaahla says that will go live by the end of Nov (you'll then have to download a new card).

4. 12-17, 1 #Pfizer: 201,646 (3.1%)
(12-17 pop = 6.5 mil)

2. What % of adults have received at least 1 dose of #COVISD19 vaccine, so 1 shot of #JnJ (fully vaccinated) or 1 shot of #Pfizer (partially vaccinated)?

39% of adults, or 15.5 million people

Why is this important? @healthza
's goal = 70% of adults must have had 1 jab by Dec

3. Will we make @heatlhza's goal to have 70% of adults vaccinated with 1 dose of #JnJ/#Pfizer by Dec?

No. @healthza
is now aiming for:
70% of adults of 50+

Where are we with this?
60+: 63.13%
50-59: 56.8%

Everyone of 50+ = 60.2% (so we're 9.8% or 1 mil jabs from the goal)

[Thread] BREAKING 1. Real-world @Discovery_SA data on how well #Pfizer's two-dose #COVID19 jab works in SA:

14 days to 3 months after taking the 2nd shot: :
- 94% effectiveness @ COVID-related death
- 92% effectiveness @ COVID-related hospitalisation

2. What is real-world effectiveness?

It’s data from an actual vaccine roll-out. During studies jabs = used under tightly controlled conditions. In the real world those conditions = more fluid. Real-world data = how well jabs work outside of a trial.

3. Is there a difference between the protection offered by 1 dose of the #Pfizer jab and 2 doses?

Yes.

- 1 dose = 78% effective @ hospitalisation (28 days after you’ve had a jab)
- 2 doses = 94% effective @ hospitalisation (14 days after the 2nd jab)

[Thread] 1. Can teens (12-17) go 2 #VaccineRollOutSA sites without an accompanying adult + get vaccinated @ #COVID19?

Government sites: YES, @heatlhza: “A teen can legally expect to be vaccinated without a parent present + without a guardian's consent.”

@Discovery_SA sites: NO.

2. Why don’t teens (12-17) need their parents’ permission to get vaccinated @ #COVID19?

The Children’s Act says kids of 12+ can consent to medical treatment if they’re of sufficient maturity + have the mental capacity to understand the benefits/risks: bit.ly/3bar7Dm

3. Was the regulation in the Children’s Act that allows for children of 12+ to consent to their own medical treatment created especially for #COVID19 jabs?

NO. That regulation has been there since the Act was proclaimed in 2005.

[Thread] #JoePhaahla: We note the allegations of financial misconduct against @healthza DDG Anban Pillay (Pillay was the acting DG in the health dpt when the #DigitalVibes contract was awarded).

2. #JoePhaahla: There is possible misconduct from 9 gov officials. Not all 9 are working in @healthza. The chief financial officer has moved to another dpt. There are 6 officials in @healthza who we may need to take action @. If we add the suspended DG (Sandile Buthelezi) = 7.

3. #JoePhaahla: @healthza will institute disciplinary action @ implicated officials in the SIU's #DigitalVibes report as a matter of urgency. All those implicated by the SIU will receive suspension letters by the end of today (Thu, 30 Sep), incl DDG Anban Pillay.

[Thread].1. How is Northwest province doing with #VaccineRollOutSA?
* To reach 70% of adults by Dec, NW needs to do 20 000 jabs six days/week
* Where are they now? NW is doing 13 000 jabs/week
* Biggest challenge = vaccine hesitancy

2. How many #VaccineRollOutSA sites does NW have?
* 55 fixes sites (42 public, 13 private)
* 200 outreach sites
* NW has all the required equipment and also enough staff and funds to vaccinate all adults who needs a vaccine

3. Vaccine hesitancy in NW province = biggest problem. NW hlth dpt says the graph below shows that it's particularly difficult to get people to visit sites that are open over weekends, so there are huge dips in weekend vaccination numbers.

[Thread] 1. How many #COVIDVaccines will SA receive in Aug?
Nicholas Crisp, @healthza:
1. We no longer have a supply shortage
2. The slide below shows delivery dates + doses. It takes a week for doses to get to sites after arrival (clearance, quality testing, distribution).

2. How many adults have registered for #COVID vaccinations?
Crisp:
1. Registrations have been disappointing
2. 9.2 mil (out of 40 mil = 23%) adults have registered
3. 60+ = age group with the largest % registered (3.5 mil out of 5 mil = 70%)

3. Crisp:
1. Vaccinations = slowed down by SA's vaccine shortage 2 wks ago (see slide)
2. We've lost momentum: We now have enough supply, but demand has decreased
3. There will defs be a 4th wave, but we don't know when + which variant will be dominant (could be a new one)

* 9.3 % of SA adults have been fully vaccinated @ #COVID19 (1 #JnJ jab/2 #Pfizer shots) *

1. Jabs, past 24 hrs: 176, 752 (Last Tu: 191, 721)
2. Total doses: 8, 811, 608
3. Adults fully vaccinated: 3, 719, 508 (9.3%)

2. How many #JnJ shots did we do today?
Answer: 48, 246 (shots which were entered into the #EVDS, which is where @HealthZA's dashboard draws data from).

Not reflected, are the paper record doses (some sites do these), which will only be added in the coming days or weeks.

3. Have we used the +/- 50 000 #JnJ doses we had this morning and that will expire at 23:50 tonight (Tu)?

We don't yet officially know, but we've likely come close:
50 000 - 48, 246 = 1 754 (doses left, but these could be paper record doses not yet entered into the #EVDS).

[Thread] 1. What's happening with our #VaccineRollOutSA doses — will we have enough and are we reaching the right people?

Nicholas Crisp, @healthza:
We crossed the 7 mil mark for vaccine doses administered this week, but we're not yet reaching enough 60+ (most vulnerable).

2. Crisp:
1. 80% (4, 416, 391) of 60+ have been vaccinated with at least one dose
2. 15% (727, 839) of 50+ have been vaccinated with at least one dose

@healthza's goal for Aug: 1 out of 7 vaccinations has to be for 60+

3. Crisp:
We're not reaching the desired public/private mix for jabs: there is far more capacity in the private sector than what we're currently using

Below is a screen grab from @healthza's dashboard that shows a breakdown of the % of jabs done at pub/priv sites on Thu

[Thread] 1. How far are we behind with our original #VaccineRolloutSA targets? Dr Jabu Mtsweni from @CSIR has analysed this.

What is our target? To vaccinate 40 million adults in SA by March 2022.

2. How do we measure if we're reaching targets?
1. We can look at the nr of doses we administer in either a 5 (without weekends) or 7 day week
2. We can count how many people are fully vaccinated, but the nr of doses we count are different for JnJ (1 dose) and Pfizer (2 doses)

3. So how is SA doing?
1. Average nr of doses/day = 173 258
2. 80% of the doses = Pfizer (2 doses) and 20% = JnJ (Pfizer was up until recently, the only jab available to SA to roll out at sites)
3. Using more 2 dose jabs makes us move slower on targets for full vaccinations

[Thread] NEW #VaccineRollOutSA stats: Thu, 29 Jul:

* We've done 4 x more Pfizer (5, 838, 267) vs. JnJ doses (1, 459, 645), but more people = fully vaccinated with JnJ because it only requires 1 shot *

1. Jabs, past 24 hrs: 215, 066 (Wed: 194, 891)
2. Total doses: 7, 297, 912

2. Adults fully vaccinated: 2, 835, 930 (7%)
* #Pfizer full vaccinations = 1, 376, 285
* #JnJ full vaccinations = 1, 459, 645

3. Why are we not yet doing 300 000 jabs per day?
Shortage of jabs:
- We received fewer Pfizer doses in July than June, but we vaccinated more people
- Our 1.49 mil JnJ jabs that Aspen released to JnJ on Mon haven't yet been handed over to @healthza (hopefully on Fri morning)
