Mpumalanga Department of Health Spokesperson Dumisani Malamule says they are confident that all the teachers will be vaccinated soon.

Mpumalanga Department of Health Spokesperson Dumisani Malamule says they are confident that all the teachers will be vaccinated soon.

Mpumalanga Department of Health Spokesperson Dumisani Malamule says they are confident that all the teachers will be vaccinated soon.

The Mpumalanga Health Department has so far vaccinated about 30 000 of the 45 000 teachers in the province.

It says the roll-out programme experienced a few challenges as some teachers were unable to receive their vaccines as they were infected with the virus and others were under quarantine.

The department’s Spokesperson, Dumisani Malamule, says they are confident that all the teachers will be vaccinated soon.

“We are hoping that as time goes on we’ll vaccinate those teachers because we are now getting to the second phase of vaccinating teachers. Remember, there are those teachers who are not on PERSAL (Personal and Salary System )who are employed by the SGB (School Governing Body), we are now in a process of vaccinating those teachers and private teachers to make sure that everyone is vaccinated,”  says Malamule.
