JOHANNESBURG - The Democratic Nursing Organisation of South Africa is concerned about the increase in COVID-19 infections nationally.
All nine provinces in the country are now in the grips of the COVID-19 fourth wave.
It's questioning if the jabs are providing enough protection for health workers.
"There is a particular concern that at this stage we have people that have been vaccinated using the Jonson & Johnson vaccine and it has been said that it is not effective so it is a worrisome point for us, said Denona's Bongani Mazibuko.
South Africa has recorded more than 26,000 new COVID-19 cases.
