The Australian government, along with its state and territory governments, have agreed to an “in-principle disposition” to move towards mandatory vaccinations against the CCP virus for aged care and disability support workers, seeking advice from medical experts on a safe way to do this.

“For vaccinations to be made mandatory for aged care workers, that has to be done by public health orders at a state level,” Prime Minister Scott Morrison told reporters after a national cabinet meeting on Friday.
