However, the issue of mandatory vaccinations is not about issuing a society-wide decree that vaccinations will be compulsory for everyone in every situation. Instead, it’s about reserving access to certain public spaces for those who are vaccinated, given the risk the unvaccinated bring with them to those spaces. It’s about “right of admission reserved” — for those who have had their Covid-19 vaccination.
Safety is built into how we manage our public spaces and workplaces in myriad ways, large and small, for the benefit of all who enter, including customers, service providers and other visitors.
Vaccination is minimally invasive, free to all South Africans and readily available. And the evidence is overwhelming that it works. In many countries these policies are taking hold, and we believe will become the norm. Italy, France and Greece have all introduced mandatory vaccinations for healthcare workers and certain government employees. In France, entry into cinemas, sports stadiums, restaurants, bars, shopping centres and nightclubs requires proof of vaccination or a negative test. In New York you can’t enter a restaurant without proof of vaccination.
