“Vaccine registration on the EVDS is now zero-rated on the Western Cape Government’s public Wi-Fi hotspots”
The Western Cape Government has secured zero-rated access to the National Government’s Electronic Vaccine Data System (EVDS) website through its public Wi-Fi hotspots.
This means that people can access EVDS on the public Wi-Fi hotspots, without affecting their allocation of 3GB free data per month.
By zero-rating this website, a greater number of people from across the province will be able to register for their vaccines, regardless of whether they live in rural settings or have limited access to the internet.
To use the Western Cape Government’s public Wi-Fi hotspots to register on the EVDS, you can click on the blue button which reads “COVID-19: Info & Help” on the landing page.
This will direct you to the vaccination registration link where you can complete, or assist someone in completing, their vaccine registration online.
The Western Cape Government’s public Wi-Fi hotspots are available across the province. To find your nearest public Wi-Fi hotspot, you can visit: www.westerncape.gov.za/wifi(link is external). You can then insert the name of your suburb and select the search function to see where your nearest Wi-Fi hotspot is.
The time has come for us to fight back against COVID-19 by getting registered for our vaccine. #LetsDoThis Western Cape.
