Figures from Ambulance Victoria show there are still hundreds of paramedics who have refused to be vaccinated against Covid-19.
256 ‘on road’ paramedics have declined the vaccine, which equates to about 4.6% of the total number of paramedics.
The Ambulance Union, who opposes mandatory vaccines, advises Australians to not worry about these numbers.
However, the Australian Medical Association calls for mandatory vaccines for frontline workers and their president says those who did not wish to be vaccinated should consider leaving their profession.
