Queensland is announcing jab mandates for schools, airports and prisons as the state prepares to bring its rules in line with most other jurisdictions, with new rules expected to go live before the start of the 2022 school year.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk on Tuesday this week flagged mandatory vaccine rules for staff at prisons, youth detention centres and airports while there are discussions for all public servants to be vaccinated as well.
Only Queensland and Tasmania are without enforced vaccinations for education sector staff and there currently are no mandatory vaccine rules that have been imposed on state politicians or their staff.
