Question NW607 to the Minister of Health
17 March 2022 - NW607
Chirwa, Ms NN to ask the Minister of Health
What is the position of his department on mandatory vaccination in institutions of higher learning?
Reply:
The scientific evidence is that where people must unavoidably congregate every protective measure should be taken including masking, ventilation, social distance from one another where possible, physical barriers such as screens, and increasing individual immunity through vaccination. The approach taken by institutions of higher learning is in line with this evidence and is therefore supported.
END.
