The Queensland government’s health department is working to encourage the about 7,000 staff who missed the state mandated Oct. 1 deadline to get their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

A Queensland Health spokesperson told The Courier Mail that they are working through about 1,900 applications for exemptions from Queensland Health and Hospital Services staff who don’t want to be vaccinated.
