A COVID-19 vaccination mandate for aged care visitors in Queensland has been recommended by the peak body, Aged and Community Services Australia.
The body is currently working with consumer groups and the country’s chief health officers on a revised industry code for visitation to residential aged care.
Chief Executive Office of Aged and Community Services Australia Paul Sadler, says because aged care homes contain our most vulnerable group of people in the pandemic, and everyone who visits aged care should bring the protection of a vaccine with them.
