Hazzard: Sydneysiders should get vaccinated because ‘every citizen has a duty’

New South Wales Health Minister Brad Hazzard says he implores people in southwestern and western Sydney to get vaccinated, saying “every citizen has a duty”. Mr Hazzard said while everyone “right across New South Wales” should get vaccinated, this is especially true for those in Sydney’s most affected areas. "Understand for example, that if you’re over 60 and you get the virus you have a one in two hundred chance of dying," he said. “As opposed to that, if you have the vaccine, the AstraZeneca vaccine, it protects you to the extent that your chance of actually dying are one in two million." He said there is "no argument" that everyone should have the vaccine. “In a national emergency every citizen has a duty to do what they can to defeat whatever is happening to us and this case, it is a Delta variant of the virus.” Via news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site https://www.news.com.au
