‘The best thing you can do as an Australian is get vaccinated’: AMA President

AMA President Dr Omar Khorshid is urging Australians to go and get their COVID-19 vaccine as soon as they become eligible. He said it was pleasing to see more than half of people over 70 had received their first jab, but flagged Victoria’s recent outbreak was a “wake up call” for all Australians. “The events of the last few days have demonstrated that COVID is a real and present threat to all of us, all the time,” he said. “For the rest of us this is a wake-up call, it’s a reminder that COVID is real, it is here now and the best thing that you can do as an Australian, not just for your own health but for the health of the people around you, is to go ad get your vaccine as soon as it’s available to you.” Via news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site https://www.news.com.au
