Two Melbourne health clinics have been forced to close and staff warned not to wear scrubs to avoid being targeted by protestors, who “physically and verbally abused” workers on their way to the centres. 

The CBD vaccination hub run by non-profit cohealth provides COVID-19 vaccines to around 200 homeless and vulnerable Melburnians every day.
