The Advertiser asked a few youngsters if they are keen on getting inoculated against Covid-19.
Jessica Mbatha (14): I’m going to get vaccinated against Covid-19 when I get the chance because it will help keep those around me safe.
Louise Smith (24): I’m already vaccinated against Covid-19. I’m studying to become a pharmacist assistant and was afraid they would make it mandatory in order for me to finish my studies.
Marne Jordaan (19): I won’t get vaccinated against Covid-19 because it’s against my Christian principles.
Motsamai Malindisa (24): I will take the vaccine because I want to help keep my child and grandmother safe.
Lezandri van der Merwe (14): I will definitely not get inoculated against Covid-19 because I don’t believe enough research and experiments have been done about the vaccine.
