he was concerned about increased pressure on hospital workers when they were already busy with non-Covid care.
She said the National immunisation Advisory Committee “need to crack on” and approve booster shots immediately for frontline healthcare workers with the likelihood that everyone will ultimately require a third dose due to waning immunity. Just over 3,100 people received first doses of the vaccine over the long weekend, from Friday to Monday, compared with 1,611 over the previous weekend, running from Friday to Sunday.
“We are seeing a continuing increase in hospitalisation and intensive care admissions – a substantial amount of whom are not fully vaccinated – placing our frontline healthcare services, including non-Covid care, under significant pressure,” he said.
