Three people have been taken to hospital after contracting coronavirus at a concert for fully vaccinated patrons in regional Victoria.

Concerns are mounting after three people were hospitalised after contracting COVID-19 at a country music gig in western Victoria.Organisers say the vaccine status of all patrons was checked upon entryThe live music performance was held at the Hamilton Golf Club on November 14 for vaccinated patrons only.

All patrons had their vaccination status checked upon entry, according to the event organiser, and numbers were strictly limited. Of those 18, three people have been admitted to the University Hospital Geelong in a stable condition.The local hospital has initiated its coronavirus response and a mass testing clinic has been set up at the Hamilton Showgrounds, where it was expected to remain for the rest of the week.

"We are a great community that looks out for its neighbours; now more than ever, we need to pull together and support one another," Mr Fitzgerald said.The ABC contacted the event organiser, who declined an interview, but confirmed the vaccination status of all patrons was checked and believed that all patrons were fully vaccinated.

Oh wow maybe they should all have had their 10th clot shot. Stupid reporting as always from the abc.

If they have used “check in” procedures, they can trace everyone and check their vax status… this is an emerging story and I’m sure you will follow it up

Because the vaccines work. Trust the science.

Explain to me why the vaccinated are so terrified of the unvaccinated again?

This happened in Britain also.

I’m sick of all these damn *checks notes* vaccinated people spreading covid and clogging up the hospitals

If we open our borders to NSW & Vic covid comes in. Qld knows this. We are vaxxed & believe all Qlders should stand together in our own State. People will need Vax to travel if required/desired. Business could display their rules (vax/all) out front.

MaajidNawaz worth a quick moment of your time

Presumably they will check that all vaccine records are true and not falsified?

If they weren’t vaccinated all of those that attended would have got Covid
