The South African National Defence Union (Sandu) has demanded that the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) register military healthcare workers in the Sisonke Vaccination Programme. If not done by Monday 8 March, the trade union is prepared to take the matter to court. It has appealed to the Ministry of Defence and Military Veterans to intervene urgently.
The union has been “inundated” with calls by military healthcare workers over the apparent failure of the SANDF surgeon-general, Lieutenant-General Zola Dabula, to register them with the vaccination programme.
The programme launched on 17 February and 70,527 healthcare workers in the public and private sector had been vaccinated by 4 March.

Most running to private diagnostic labs to undergo tests
Healthcare Workers (HCWs) in Telangana, who took two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, are now curious to know if their body has generated enough antibodies against coronavirus. This has brought them to diagnostic labs to undergo tests to know the level of antibodies. And since government hospitals currently do not have the resources to take up these tests, private labs are the only option.
The COVID vaccination drive in the State has begun on January 16. The first priority was given to Healthcare Workers (HCW), followed by Frontline Workers (FLWs). Currently, people who are 60 years or above, and those who are between 45-59 years with co-morbidities, were being given the shots.
