Cape Town - South Africa will ditch the paper system when it comes to the management and monitoring of the Covid-19 vaccine.
The Electronic Vaccination Data System (EVDS) is expected to go live, in tandem with the vaccine roll out early next month.
According to Dr Anban Pillay, deputy director-general (DDG) at the Department of Health, the system will also be used for tracking the vaccines and the vehicles moving them through.
How will it work
The system creates an electronic health record that will support the collection and provision of information such as patient demographics, the number of doses taken, the health establishment where this happened, vaccine administered, any adverse events that occurred, and a record of vaccination issued to individuals.

The former leader of the Labour Party and ex-prime minister, Tony Blair, has reportedly been advising UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock on the country’s vaccination response.
Thirteen years after leaving government, Mr Blair has made a “comeback” of sorts on the back of the Chinese coronavirus crisis.
The
Sunday Timesreported that the globalist left-wing former Labour leader has been providing ‘strategic advice’ to the nominally Conservative government on the vaccination regime.
Blair has also reportedly given advice to the head of the NHS Test and Trace system, Baroness Harding, as well as Steve Bates, a vaccine task force member who used to serve as an adviser to the Labour Party.
