JOHANNESBURG - THE BUSINESS sector yesterday vowed to assist the government in quickly ramping up the country’s vaccination capacity in a bid to fast-track economic recovery.

The Compensation Fund partnered with mutual assurance companies Rand Mutual Assurance and The Federated Employers Mutual Assurance to contribute towards funding vaccination costs for uninsured workers. The government’s Phase 2 of the Covid-19 vaccination programme to inoculate 5.4 million citizens 60 years and above kicked off yesterday amid the prospect of a third wave.

“Over the coming days and weeks, we will steadily and systematically open many more vaccination sites,” Kingston said. BLSA chief executive Busi Mavuso said their members were ready to support the government in finding a balance between policy reactions to meet health objectives without inflicting unnecessary damage to the economy.
