Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande has announced the formal commencement of the COVID-19 vaccination programme for the post-school education and training sector.
He briefed the media on Friday afternoon on the rollout plan.
“I say formal because in several respects, our sector has already undertaken much important work to support the national vaccination drive and protect those individuals within our sector with the highest risk of COVID-19,”
Nzimande said.
The sector includes public universities, TVET and Community Education and Training (CET) colleges, and private institutions among others.
