Wits' student representative council (SRC) has challenged the university's mandatory Covid-19 vaccination policy. The SRC disapproves of mandatory vaccination because it is a "coercion by institutions of higher learning". "It is very difficult for anyone to give a concrete answer on the future of January," he says about the institutions that haven't made vaccination mandatory. But universities are bound by a string of legislative instruments to ensure that they are safe for staff, students and visitors. Karim says three factors influence if someone should be subjected to mandatory vaccination.
