We call on Stellenbosch University to implement a policy to make COVID-19 vaccination compulsory for staff and students. Let us remain as safe as possible by implementing a strong public health, science-based response to the pandemic. We owe our students an in-person, on-campus experience; this can only happen if we are all vaccinated.
