The COVID-19 pandemic ushered in an unprecedented time of uncertainty and hardship for the people of South Africa and the world. The roll out of vaccines across the world has seen increasing levels of normality return to society with people becoming more resistant to infection and symptoms being less severe.
South Africa’s COVID-19 vaccination programme is currently underway and is
a key intervention to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal is for approximately 40 million South Africans to be vaccinated by the end of 2021.

To encourage our employees to get vaccinated against COVID-19, First Impression Labels provided them with ample information and resources about the vaccines and the vaccination process. In addition to this, they were also given an extra day’s leave for each dose of the vaccine that they received. This was to accommodate any side-effects or discomfort that they may experience on the day.
As a company, we felt it was our duty to assist in the vaccination process to help safeguard the health and wellbeing of our employees and their families as well as our customers and visitors. We were happy to play our part and hope this has helped to ensure the success of our country’s vaccination programme for a safer, healthier South Africa.
