The Western Cape Health Department has advised health care workers in the province to give re-consent to participate in the Covid-19 trial vaccination programme which resumes Wednesday, April 28.According to the SABC, the vaccination process was recently paused as a safety precaution when six out of more than six million Americans who were given the Johnson & Johnson jab developed a rare blood- clotting disorder.
However, the Health Department says health workers who have already registered or have vouchers but have not yet been injected should again consent to be vaccinated.
Meanwhile, Premier Alan Winde has also welcomed the lifting of suspension on the J&J vaccine saying the vaccinations of healthcare workers are due to resume under the Sisonke trial, and the government will work as quickly as possible to ensure their rollout.
