'Mandatory vaccine policy is in the public interest' - Keymanthri Moodley

"A mandatory vaccine policy is absolutely critical," says Professor Keymanthri Moodley, a bioethicist and director of the Centre for Medical Ethics and Law at Stellenbosch University. Professor Moodley joined BizNews to explain exactly why she believes that a mandatory vaccine policy is necessary for 'high-risk environments'. She says that healthcare workers are exhausted and will soon develop compassion fatigue, a dangerous prospect for anyone who needs urgent medical attention. She also says it's the only way to ensure an increase in economic activity and prevent further lockdowns. "It's in the best interest of the government and the country to have a good mandatory policy in place and to ensure that people are healthy and safe and can return to employment and other activities as soon as possible," she says.
