Another 92 police officers in the Australian state of Victoria have been suspended and could lose their jobs after refusing to receive the COVID-19 vaccine by a government-mandated deadline. It follows an earlier wave of suspensions in mid-October, where 43 officers were stood down.
On Oct. 29, Victoria Police confirmed that 74 police officers and 18 protective services officers (PSO) were stood down after failing to comply with a directive from the state’s chief health officer and chief commissioner to receive the vaccine.
