网易体育 Update 86: Infections are increasing

- Wits MVax Operations Committee

Please take note of rising infections in the country and particularly in Gauteng. Please get vaccinated if you have not done so yet.

Get vaccinated

Thank you to the majority of staff and students who have vaccinated – you are protecting yourself and helping to protect our broader community from serious illness. 网易体育 infections are on the increase nationally, and particularly in the province. We encourage everyone who has not yet vaccinated to do so as soon as possible. If you are due for your booster shot, please get it. 

Upload your certificates

Remember to upload your vaccination certificates to the Wits portal. If you have been granted reasonable accommodation, you must upload your weekly antigen or PCR tests to the site. Email mvaxhelpdesk@wits.ac.za if you need help. 

Wits Vaccination and Testing Site
