People between the ages of 50 and 59 will be able to register from July 1 to receive their COVID-19 vaccinations and will be able to receive their vaccine from July 15.

The Free State has announced that it has managed to vaccinate 50% of its target of 32 000 educators and support staff at all the 29 centres across the province.

The province will complete the roll-out by Friday and next week will do the mop-up operations.

Basic Education  Minister Angie Motshekga was joined by Free State Education MEC Tate Makgoe and Health MEC Montseng Tsiu to monitor the vaccination roll-out in Botshabelo.

Teachers who have been vaccinated at Seemahale Secondary school in Botshabelo have expressed their gratitude.

“We were living in fear but I think because after this our lives are going to go back to normal again,” said one teacher.

Another teacher said: “I am feeling so excited because I have been vaccinated, I’m still alive others did not get the chance that I got.”
