Netcare and Wits team up for vaccination site
The vaccination site opened on Monday, September 6, in the Old Mutual Sports Hall at the Main Campus of the Wits University.
University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) students, alumni, and their families and friends can now receive their COVID-19 vaccinations at the Wits main campus. This is made possible through a partnership between the university and the Netcare Group.
“It is a top health priority to ensure that everyone has easy access to the COVID-19 vaccine which remains our best protection against this deadly virus,” says Mande Toubkin from Netcare.
The vaccination site opened on Monday, September 6, in the Old Mutual Sports Hall at the Main Campus of the Wits University. The first in line to be vaccinated at the new site was the Wits student representative council (SRC) president, Mpendulo Mfeka, who was vaccinated by Prof Madhi.

For at least the next three weeks until September 23, the COVID-19 vaccination team from Netcare Milpark Hospital in collaboration with Professor Shabir Madhi, dean of the Wits Faculty of Health Sciences, will assist students from the university, staff, their families, and others to receive their vaccines conveniently on campus.
There is no charge for people who are not on medical aid, and the vaccination will not affect the day-to-day benefit for those with medical aid. The site administers the Pfizer vaccine and is open on weekdays from 08:00 to 15:00.
Those wishing to vaccinate simply need to bring their ID documents or passports and will be assisted to register their details on the electronic vaccination data system if they have not already done so.
