Allow GPs to give Covid vaccines

The South African Medical Association (SAMA) is calling on the government to allow general practitioners (GPs) to administer COVID-19 vaccines in South Africa.

This comes after Chairperson of SAMA, Dr Angelique Coetzee said, “This would make the country’s rollout significantly more convenient and help accelerate the uptake of the vaccine, now necessary to allow doctors to vaccinate patients who have continued to hold out and all doctors have been trained in properly administering vaccines and that this is the system used by other countries.”
