The pandemic has resulted in students losing out on an entire academic year. The authorities should take urgent steps to ensure that university students are now able to return to their studies.

In that regard, vaccines allocated for those who have voluntarily opted out of taking the vaccine can be reallocated for students. Hopefully, once there is adequate supply, such rationing will no longer be necessary.
