Doctors warn against reopening Victoria until 80% are vaccinated
They say lifting restrictions any sooner would be 'reckless' as the health system is already under massive strain
The AMA is urging Victoria to hold off easing COVID-19 restrictions until two weeks after 80% of those aged over 12 years are fully vaccinated, branding any earlier lifting as “reckless”.
The call came the same day as authorities announced a slight loosening of lockdown measures as the state hits its 70% COVID-19 first dose vaccination targets.
