Premier Annastacia Pałaszczuk is refusing to say if Queensland will mandate the Covid jab for teachers.

The premier urged the community to get their jab before the December 17 reopening date. She did not reveal whether she would mandate the jab for teachers like Victoria and New South Wales have done to protect children who are too young to be vaccinated.

She said “Just on the children’s issue, I saw reports this morning that the US is looking at potentially vaccinating children from November so they’re going through their final assessment processes.”
