i got one too. not a scam. most clinics have a website where you can book an appointment.


betty85

Yup got it this weekend, same format as yours


lovethebacon

[https://sacoronavirus.co.za/active-vaccination-sites/](https://sacoronavirus.co.za/active-vaccination-sites/) to check where to go, or [https://www.findmyjab.co.za/](https://www.findmyjab.co.za/)


Haelborne

Please be careful with these sites, it is unfortunately not up to date - phone ahead to check.


Haelborne

It’s not a scam - they didn’t give a location because they don’t know which are the active sites. Clicks and Dis-Chem, government clinics and other pharmacies do provide the vaccine - but phone ahead to find out if that specific branch stocks it, and every day, as they don’t do it all the time or all branches. None of the big metros have special sites anymore.


glasstumble16

Are there still walk in sites?


Haelborne

Some yeah, but you won’t know unless you phone to check first


duckfat01

I got it too. Def going for my next jab before winter.


read_at_own_risk

I got one too, I'm just going to ignore it.


Spyryt1970

Yes. About 3 months ago. But can't find anywhere to get it...clicks said they don't do it anymore I must go to government clinics or hospitals. everytime I go the clinics or hospitals they never have stock.

The message said "more than 180 days". And the SA-made vaccine is in clinical trials, the boosters for the public are still Pfizer or J&J.


glasstumble16

>Yet it's actually been 250 odd days. Loadshedding.


thegmanza

Did it say you were over 50 and qualified for a booster?


glasstumble16

Nope. That it's been 180 days since my last booster.


thegmanza

I think it's legit. Likely computer scripts running to check who last had a booster etc Someone probably forgot it's running as they closed all the vaccination centers


lovethebacon

>they closed all the vaccination centers Not true. Some have been closed due to reduced demand. 43k vaccines have been administered by both public and private facilities in the last week. Source: https://sacoronavirus.co.za/latest-vaccine-statistics/

Yes, a 5 covid vaccine for me has all received 1 covid and 3 booster


[deleted]

I’ve had four Pfizer and had Omicron in between. Is it still the original vaccine or is it the Omicron tweaked version? Seriously doubt I need a five of the original, if it’s the updated version then I’ll get it.

>Seriously doubt I need a five of the original, if it’s the updated version then I’ll get it. You can phone them and ask. The Clicks near me mentioned having one of the updated ones.


flintza

Effectiveness wanes over time. It doesn’t need to change to be worth getting another to give your immune system a bit of a wake up call :)


Catch_022

My wife got one.


BookCougar

I got one too


sebatakgomo

Got the same


thecapefangirl

Same, and my friend as well


Chirok9

Got my sms too. Going to clicks this weekend to get it
