The choice is inherently communal: my individual health choice either reduces or increases the burden on the country’s health system; it either drives transmission or reduces it

For many months we have strongly encouraged everyone to get vaccinated at the earliest opportunity. And we make it easy — we provide vaccinations to employees and their dependants in SA. Now we are starting to engage our workforce as we intend to introduce a requirement of full vaccination for anyone wanting to enter one of our sites or offices in SA and around the world.
Yes, it is possible to become infected with Covid-19 even if you are fully vaccinated, but you’re much more likely to be shielded from hospitalisation and death, and you are far less likely to transmit it to others.
We are doing whatever we can to encourage and support vaccination uptake among our employees and in the communities around our operations. Our robust workplace vaccination programme has sought to provide the facts and dispel the myths about vaccinations. We have a duty to maintain a healthy and safe workplace and we cannot allow the few to endanger the many.
