The university “envisages” paying casual staff to be vaccinated against COVID-19

VC S Bruce Dowton told staff Friday the university is working on a plan “to encourage our current casual cohort” to get the jab.  Continuing and contract staff can take time during the work day, or use sick-leave.

Professor Dowton added MU is “actively exploring options of how we can support the wide public vaccination programme” and that he is “in discussions” with other VCs on how campuses can be “vaccine hubs.”
