Could all universities introduce compulsory vaccines? 

Auckland University has announced all students, staff and visitors will have to be Covid-19 vaccinated by early January to be on campus.  

Wellington's Victoria University has already made it clear vaccination will be mandatory for halls of residence.  

Universities New Zealand chief executive Chris Whelan told Mike Hosking it's a decision all universities are grappling with.
