Doctors have mixed response to $300 cash-for-vax plan
The Doctors Reform Society says Labor's plan to speed up coronavirus vaccination is long overdue, but others don't think it's necessary.
A Labor plan to offer $300 in cash to all who are fully vaccinated has received a mixed reaction from doctors.
Under the proposal mooted by Opposition leader Anthony Albanese on Tuesday, all those who are fully vaccinated by 1 December would receive a $300 payment, a plan he estimates would cost $6 billion.
NSW Doctors Reform Society president Dr Con Costa, who practices in one of Sydney’s hotspots, has applauded the idea.
He says it’s a “long overdue” recognition of the urgency for all Australians to be vaccinated against COVID-19 as quickly as possible.
