South Australia's Health Minister is urging the public to ignore 'propaganda' about the coronavirus vaccine, as health authorities prepare to deliver the first round of jabs in the state from Monday.

After a march through the city, a large crowd gathered on the steps of SA's Parliament, holding placards with slogans including "my body, my choice".

"Because the vaccines have been developed so quickly, some people might be saying, 'Well look, I want to stay back and just get a sense of is it safe?'" he said. "Of that, we've seen very little in the way of adverse effects and serious allergy numbers are very, very low indeed."Dr Cusack said the vaccine had also proven to be highly effective overseas, and said the detection of two new coronavirus cases in SA, in hotel quarantine, was a timely reminder of the importance of vaccination."We will continue to see cases coming in and that obviously is the risk in the state," Dr Cusack said.

I'm not an antivaxxer. I am a vaccinator but I am sceptical regarding how quickly this was developed. Now being touted as the cure all.

All of 2500 of them lol gives 1250 people the 2 jabs my god cant see the earth moving for those numbers

Register the anti-vaxers and charge them if they pass Covid-19 to someone else. OR lock them down in isolation for 14 days - they must show they are negative....... who runs this show?

Can any Anti-vaxxer explain why Australia has been declared polio free for the last two decades? Could it be the vaccine that has been administered over the last fifty years? Hmm...waiting.

my body my choice im not anti vax I'm anti rights being removed

An inability to understand science is not a valid argument against it.

It's not a vaccine its inoculation, get it right people .... there is a difference and no one wants anyone to believe the anti inoculation crowd , do your own research and ask your own questions, is it a trail ? Who is liable if I have a reaction ? Read before signing ?

I’m wondering why are anti vaxers protesting ? The only people it’s mandatory for is healthcare workers and I don’t think there would be many anti vaxers among them

It’s hard to take a anti vaxxer seriously lol

People should do what they feel is best for them

If we want to *control a virus* ... an 'invisible-enemy' with a 99%+ survival rate that's spread by asymptomatic humans (and seasonally, apparently) ... is our only real option - to *control the humans*? Are WE gullible?
