Mandates should be a temporary measure until population vaccination is high and where in most settings, risk can be managed, writes Julie Leask | OPINION covid vaccination melbournelockdown

. This is a tough call but justified by a unique set of circumstances and the temporary nature of the mandate.There are often better ways to get the high vaccination coverage needed. This new mandate makes access to work and income contingent on receiving this medical intervention for now 1.25 million Victorians.

Mandates can lead to conflict between the unvaccinated and those enforcing the requirement and the doctors turning down requests for medical exemptions. And they can reduce trust, particularly among communities affected by past injustices, such as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Mandates can produce backfire effects among the most vaccine-hesitant for whom autonomy is highly prized, can cause civil unrest and politicisation of vaccination.

Urgently, Victoria needs a precise and effective control strategy and patterns of transmission hold the key. In the NSW outbreak, workplaces have been a It is hoped this could stem the flow of transmission and reduce the disease and death otherwise expected.This is a big ask of workers, employers and unions, the latter of whom have largely supported the move. The vaccination services will need to be extremely convenient and able to meet the surge in demand for the unvaccinated workers affected by this strong nudge .

Why doesn't 3AW, Niel Mitchell ever promote getting vaccinated.

Nope.

What a fucking mess!

Sad to see some comments here, when its the vaxxed that are the problem, through no fault of their own.

OPINION Julie Leask is a Nazi too. Nothing has been temporary in the Andrews Government.

We now have Poland’s support

Let everyone else do the heavy lifting, then gain all the same benefits. No thanks!!

If you need to use force, coercion or violence to reach an end goal then your ideas are not only worthless but also immoral.

If only the PM would mandate the same across the whole country

Don't see why it's needed. Going by first dose rates by then we will likely be at 90% anyway. Forcing people to lose their jobs over it when the herd immunity Vax threshold they all talked about is reached is odd. I am double vaxxed fyi

No - I want to know that all the people I deal with have been vaccinated. We are in a deadly pandemic for goodness sake!

Never underestimate the power of pharmaceutical lobbyists and what they can achieve. Here's an example.

Until they lose it in court,then what’s he’s next move .

Yes temporary for 10 years

Unless it was never about your “health” 🧐
