The Vaxi Taxi campaign run by the Western Cape government’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is getting vaccines to people by partnering with local community kitchens and using public space.
Cape Town's health department has deployed a mobile vaccination service, locally known as the "Vaxi Taxi", in Manenberg, offering Covid-19 vaccines to one of the city's biggest townships.
In a bid to get more people in the Western Cape vaccinated against Covid-19, the provincial health department has launched a mobile vaccination drive, Vaxi Taxi.
'The aim of the EMS Vaxi Taxi is to serve communities and ensure that it reaches as many individuals as possible, whether it be at their workplaces and educational institutions, meeting people where they are.'
Emergency personnel are now part of a mobile vaccination drive.
