South Africa’s mortuary workers to be vaccinated in 2nd phase of rollout

South African funeral workers are next in line to be jabbed as part of the government’s COVID-19 vaccination drive.

For now, those working directly with mortal remains will be prioritized.

The essential workers will be included in the second phase of the roll-out.

The Funeral Federation of South Africa’s John Storom on Friday said: “Funeral workers are being included as we were notified by the Department of Health yesterday. It’ll be the ones that work directly with the mortal remains such as those who pick up the bodies and do casket preparations.”

The first vaccinations were administered in the country this week.

President Cyril Ramaphosa, Health Minister Zweli Mkhize, and other frontline healthcare workers were among the first to receive the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
