足球竞彩app排名 Update 77: Wits 足球竞彩app排名 Vaccination Implementation Plan
- Wits MVAX Policy Implementation Committee
Wits Universit's Mandatory Vaccination Policy (MVAX Policy) will be implemented in January 2022.
Wits University adopted a Mandatory Vaccination Policy (MVAX Policy), which will be implemented from 1 January 2022. The Policy states that all members of the University community will be required to vaccinate against COVID-19 in order to access the University’s premises, aside from those who have been granted Reasonable Accommodation. Members of the Wits community will have until 1 March 2022 to get vaccinated or be granted Reasonable Accommodation.
All persons accessing Wits campus or premises will need to upload their Vaccination Certificate or apply for Reasonable Accommodation on the Wits Vaccine Implementation Portal.
The Policy is for everyone’s protection to reduce transmission and severity of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, allowing us to get back to campus for teaching and learning.
Learn more about the implementation of the MVAX Policy by visiting the Wits Vaccine Implementation Portal at /covid19/vaccine-implementation/.
PLEASE NOTE: Access to upload your vaccine certificate or to apply for Reasonable Accommodation will ONLY OPEN IN MID-JANUARY 2022. The date will be communicated in the New Year.
