Another state expected to ditch COVID-19 vaccine mandate for healthcare workers
'It's time to get back on with life,' says NSW Minister for Health Ryan Park as key players discuss the move.
The COVID-19 vaccine mandate for doctors and other health workers may be scrapped across NSW within weeks.
State Minister for Health Ryan Park said while “COVID-19 is still around”, it was important to “get back on with life”.
“Without a doubt, we know that COVID-19 is still around and we’ve been saying the best thing every one of us can do at the moment is just keep up to date with their vaccine schedule — and that includes healthcare workers,” he said in a radio interview this week.
“But we’ve also got to make sure that we get on with running a health system after COVID-19 and we can’t continue to operate in the same way that we did in the middle of the pandemic.”
