A group of UQ students are working with existing health services to cover the cost of flu vaccines for the homeless. 

The student-led initiative amply named the 'Vac-Seen' has seen an overwhelming response with plans to extend its service through 2022 and beyond, establishing an immunisation outreach program for areas not currently serviced.

The exposure sites have been linked to the Four Points hotel quarantine link that saw two new cases spend a day in the community while infectious.
