COVID-19 information

When are you covered?

The WHO Global Outbreak Benefit is available to all members of the University of Kwazulu-Natal Medical Scheme during a declared outbreak period. This benefit ensures you have access to vaccination screening consultations, testing, and management and appropriate supportive treatment as long as you meet the Scheme's Benefit entry criteria. You get cover for a defined basket of care for out-of-hospital healthcare services related to the outbreak disease.

Get your COVID-19 booster shot!

The National Department of Health has approved booster vaccinations for everyone over the age of 18 years who has been vaccinated with 2 doses of the Pfizer vaccine and 1 dose of the J&J vaccine. Vaccines teach your immune system to recognise and fight the virus. Boosters increase the level of antibodies against COVID-19 and your immunity to COVID-19.

Book your booster

Visit Discovery's vaccination site at 1 Discovery Place in Sandton, or one of our partner sites near you.
