Students and staff can now get vaccinated on all three campuses of the University of the Free State.

For the month of October, Clicks Pharmacy will be doing vaccinations ( Johnson and Johnson) on the Bloemfontein Campus for staff and students. Clicks Pharmacy staff will be available on the campus in EXR 1(enter from the basketball courts), next to the screening site, on Wednesdays from 09:00 to 13:00. 

The following should be noted: 
• The COVID-19 vaccine will be administered free of charge.
• You can speed up the process by registering on the COVID-19 Vaccination Programme registration portal before you get to the vaccination site. Staff will be on stand-by to register those who have not yet done so.  
• Please bring positive identification, such as an ID book or driver’s licence.
• You will receive proof of your first vaccination via a vaccine card.

In addition to the vaccination site at the Universitas Academic Hospital in Bloemfontein, staff and students can also get vaccinated on the Qwaqwa and South campuses. Take note that the Qwaqwa Campus vaccination site is open on Wednesdays only.

Former student receives medal from Economic Society of South Africa (ESSA)
2009-10-12

Dr Meshach Aziakpono, a former Ph.D. student of the University of the Free State (UFS), was recently awarded the Founder’s medal of the Economic Society of South Africa (ESSA) during a prize-giving function that coincided with the society’s biennial conference held in Port Elizabeth. The Founder’s medal is awarded to the best Ph.D. thesis in Economics completed at a South African university. Dr Aziakpono completed his Ph.D. in Economics in 2008 with a thesis entitled “The Depth of Financial Integration and its Effects on Financial Development and Economic Performance of the Southern African Customs Union Countries”. His supervisor was Prof. Philippe Burger (left), Chairperson of the Department of Economics at the UFS and his co-supervisor was Prof. Stan du Plessis (right) from Stellenbosch University.
