Everyone vaccinated against Covid-19 before the end of the year will stand a chance of winning up to R100,000 in a lucky draw managed by the DG Murray Trust, working with the National Department of Health.

The value of the Vooma Vaccination Voucher has also been increased to R200 from Monday (29 November), given the heightened urgency to ensure that all people aged 50 and older are vaccinated without delay.
