Discovery Health – Covid 19 Vaccine
According to statistics, 55% to 65% of South Africa's population has been infected and recovered from COVID-19, which is not far away from herd immunity. The index used to measure the spread of the epidemic is now 1.4, as long as it is below 2.5, South Africa can avoid the third wave. Now we need to pay more attention to The Northwest province, The Free State and The Northern Cape Province.
Vaccination has been defined as one of the Prescribed Minimum Benefits of medical Scheme by the Medical Association. So you as a Medical Aid member can get vaccinated free of charge.
