Vaccination against COVID-19 could be mandated for GPs working in high-risk settings, but the vaccines must not become mandatory for all, the RACGP says.

With the first vaccine doses expected to be administered from mid-February, the college says it strongly encourages all GPs to receive one of the vaccines as soon as possible.
