Mandatory vaccinations for students and staff

UCT is proposing mandatory vaccination to its students and staff.

This essentially means that students won’t be able to register next year if they are not vaccinated and staff will also be required to get vaccinated.

The Deputy Chairperson of the South African Students Congress Buyile Matiwane says it’s not against taking the jab but it says more engagement needs to take place.

But he believes if you make vaccination mandatory it might just have the opposite effect and increase scepticism.
