The Southern Institute of Technology (SIT) will mandate vaccination passes for all staff, students, contractors and visitors from next year. Chief executive Onno Mulder released the SIT’s vaccination policy yesterday after extensive consultation with stakeholders, staff and students. The policy did not apply to secondary school pupils involved in secondary-tertiary provision at an SIT site, as per Ministry of Education guidelines, he said. The SIT’s vaccination policy would be reviewed when necessary. ‘‘SIT will meet all Government guidelines and fulfil the requirements of the Covid-19 framework traffic light system.’’luisa.girao@odt.co.nz
