Two Aboriginal residents of Binjari and Rockhole, on the outskirts of Katherine, have posted on social media that claims circulating of forced vaccinations are untrue and that they are being treated with respect and dignity by authorities,  NT News reported on Thursday.

This comes on the back of claims on Twitter earlier in the week that army personnel were forcing residents to get COVID-19 vaccinations and taking them to the Howard Springs facility against their will.
