Queensland's Health Minister says she is not concerned about widespread disruption in the state's hospital system after the suspension of thousands of health workers who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19. 

Ms D'Ath said there would be disruptions while dealing with the staff shortfall, but Queensland Health director-general, John Wakefield, told staff that unvaccinated employees would not be allowed to work on-site and could lose their job if they cannot provide a valid reason for refusing the mandate.
