But it says it fears that not all workers will be inoculated before the country enters the second phase of the rollout.


With phase two expected to start in the next two weeks - the union says over 40 thousand healthcare workers in KZN are yet to get the shot.

DENOSA's Mandla Shabangu says the problem that they have encountered is that there is a lot of people who have not been vaccinated. 


"We have vaccinated just about 40 000 and we are remaining with about 41 000 which is very problematic. According to Sisonke within these few days, they will include the other 41 000 which I think is impossible."
