AMA demands mandatory COVID-19 vaccination of all health staff

COVID-19 vaccination should be mandatory for anybody working in healthcare, including cleaners and contractors, the AMA has declared.
It says the Federal Government has to lead legal reforms to make vaccination mandatory “as soon as is reasonably possible”.
The move would help GP practice owners currently stuck in “legal and ethical limbo” because they wanted to mandate vaccination of their staff but were concerned about Fair Work laws, said AMA vice-president Dr Chris Moy, a GP in Adelaide.
“Small practices don’t have the resources to enforce this, so we need the Federal Government to say this is the way it is,” he told Australian Doctor.
