Government looks into making vaccinating mandatory.

Government plans to take away the right to choose not to vaccinate. Health Minister Joe Phaahla said that the government was considering the possibility of making COVID-19 vaccines mandatory.

Phaahla said that at this stage, the government was speaking to various fora about the feasibility of making vaccines compulsory.

“What is possible, and we would consider, is various service providers, restaurants, cinemas, gyms – we don’t foresee national government regulation which says everybody must vaccinate.”

About 11.6 million shots have been administered in this country
