Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said that he respects people’s choices, and those who refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine should not be demonised in the country.

“We don’t have a mandatory vaccine policy as a Federal Government. That’s not something that we have done. We respect people’s choices,” Morrison told the Seven Network on Thursday.
