I realised something this morning. As much as it is simple for most of us to register it isn't that simple for everyone. So pls ask around, someone may need help registering. I had a wg ask me for help earlier today. She can barely read and write in her home language, let alone English. The Pakistani corner shop owner asked me to come past his shop when I have time to help him register. There is a guy begging at the robot that I thought may need help registering. I know he has an ID. So I asked and helped and he is now registered. He wasn't even considering being vaccinated because he doesn't have a phone. He has a place to stay but no income. My mom has started doing the same around where she lives. Another buddy of mine has also been doing the same around where he lives in a very impoverished area. In my circle it has spread fast.
So please ask around. Many people will not ask, but if you offer, they will accept your help. I am going past my barber later to see if he wants to register.
Make the effort to help someone who may have nobody to ask

If you are over 35 and registered don't wait for an appointment SMS. Walk-in to any vaccine centre and get your jab done.
Almost all vaccine centres are entertaining walk-ins.

Fantastic sentiment!
Does anyone know how it works if someone doesn't have the correct papers to be here?
I'm not getting into the debate whether she should or shouldn't be here etc.
I just want to get her vaccinated, but I don't want to start asking too many questions

Is it possible to select which jab one wishes to receive?

She just needs her passport or if an asylum seeker the relevant document. You need to register with that document number on the EVDS.
vaccine.enroll.health.gov.za/
When you go to the vaccine site you need that identification document with you. That's it. No questions asked.

There are many "illegal" immigrants working on farms, or domestics without any "papers". Think his question is how fo get them vaccinated.

As long as there is some form of identification. A passport or an asylum seeker / refuge number.
