Western Australian Premier Mark McGowan has urged residents to seek booster shots as inevitable outbreaks loom. Mr McGowan said the new infections highlighted the need for Western Australians to take the virus seriously, with further outbreaks inevitable.READ MORE:"The best way to protect yourself and your family is to go in and get tested if you're unwell and isolate if you've been told to do so."
A total of 96.9 per cent of WA residents have received a first dose of a vaccine, while official figures state 89.9 per cent are fully vaccinated. Mr McGowan said, however, he was "very confident" the state had actually reached 90 per cent by the time of his press conference.
Time to open up not wait to winter
MarkMcGowanMP What’s your objective function regarding this so-called pandemic?
It’s pretty much an unspoken thing over here, McGowan is letting omicron rip, it’s just a shame he had to lock in us residents while he does it.
Pity the ALP in WA has so underfunded health care, that it can't even operate properly under normal circumstances, much less in an emergency. Of course, the duplicitous McGowan, Dictator & Emperor for Life, with try to blame the Feds.
Maybe they should be taking opening up when they promised seriously
McGowan doesn't appear to be interested in logic, reason or fairness, only power, control & maintaining his majority. Still requiring triple vaxxed returning overseas Citizens to 14 days quarantine (7 in Gov hotel at own expense) demonstrates an authoritarian regime!
