This is the schedule South Africa reports to WHO, published as data under WHO's open licence — not a copy of the ministry's own page. The ministry can change a date without WHO's file changing the same week, so if your health centre says something different, your health centre is right. Two products on one line are alternatives for a single injection, not two.
