The Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) urges all workers and their families to support the national Vooma vaccine weekend Friday 12th – Sunday 14th November 2021. This is a national campaign that will take place at vaccination sites in all municipalities across the country.
Currently, there are over 89 000 South Africans who have succumbed to the deadly COVID-19, whilst many more have lost jobs, wages and businesses.
COVID-19 remains a deadly threat that needs to be taken seriously by all South Africans. The Federation supports the various interventions government has implemented to manage this deadly pandemic. These include non-pharmaceutical interventions like the wearing of masks, sanitising and social distancing.
These interventions though can only take us so far, which is why it is important for South Africans to vaccinate. These vaccines have been proven to be highly effective in protecting people from being infected, transmitting the virus, becoming seriously ill, and most critically from dying.
