COVID-19 vaccines: Mandate or choice

Stellenbosch University’s Development and Alumni Relations Division invites you to an online talk titled COVID-19 vaccines: Mandate or choice. This discussion will focus on the legal and ethical aspects of COVID-19 vaccines and whether these vaccines should and may be made mandatory.

This is the second talk in a series of conversations with national and international leaders, titled the Matie Crest Talks. The aim of these leadership talks is to inspire, strengthen, guide and intrigue current and future leaders.
