Vaccine influencers and queue jumpers criticised By Nathan Adams Share As the Sisonke Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 trial came to end, there were concerns that people who should not be getting the jab were exploiting loopholes to get vaccinated. The definition of health-care worker was expanded and this meant that more people were eligible for the vaccine trial. A technology content producer and blogger, known only as “Cape Town Guy” tweeted that he was alerted via a WhatsApp message that vaccines would expire and then rushed to the Mitchells Plain District Hospital, where he was vaccinated. He tweeted: “I got the vaccine (smiley face). The doses were going to expire and I was able to register for it. Arm is a bit sore but overall I feel fine,” along with a short video clip of the nurse doing the injection into his upper arm.
