I think they are moving up the date by a week, that's why Discovery emailed yesterday. Hopefully we get slots here soon, would rather not drive to the city.
I am not going that far out of my way, on a Monday, in peak hour traffic.
I wonder what vaccine the government offer?

Pfizer in cities. J&J for medical and education staff and rural areas due to being one jab.
So no difference for SB if he waits for the Discovery appointment and the Pfizer.

Yip. Discovery gets it from government, same stock.
From what I've read both are good but Pfizer seems better, so that's the one I want.
SO just received the same SMS.

As long as you have the SMS code you can go anywhere. My mother is in Stellenbosch and was told to go to Grabouw 50km away and she is in her 80s. The local vaccination centre accepted her.

Brother got the SMS for Wednesday in a township.
Mine is at the Centurion main one. Between 2 and 4 on the 7th. Raslouw is much closer and not in a Mall. Going to see if they are doing it.
By tomorrow we should know if Hubby has covid. They are both still very sick. Doctor's rooms are closed (they are usually open). Clinic isn't taking any more new patients. So getting stuff from the chemist for them. Don't want to do the emergency at the hospital in case they are not infected and get infected.

How long after having Covid should you wait for a vaccination?

This is the pre vaccination questions that Discovery asks (from their website), so looks like ten days after recovery:
Before your vaccination, the vaccinator will ask you a few questions about your medical history and help you to understand more about vaccines.
You will be asked to delay your vaccination if:
You have COVID-19 or are still within the 10-day recovery period
You were hospitalised due to COVID-19 within the last 28 days
You had any vaccine (including the flu vaccine) within the last 14 days
You had your first COVID-19 vaccine dose within the last 42 days
Follow the medical advice you have been given if:
You have been advised by a medical doctor not to get vaccinated
You had a severe or immediate allergic reaction (within four hours) to your first dose of COVID-19 vaccine
