No Jab No Play staff exclusion

Shadow Minister for Families and Children, Georgie Crozier

In PAEC today, Minister Mikakos admitted that Early Childhood Educators are not required to be vaccinated.

In August 2015, Health Minister Jill Hennessey told the ABC:

We know that it is absolutely essential to get your children vaccinated if you can and only if there are medical reasons as to why a child can’t be vaccinated will that be acceptable.

But it would seem the people who are supposed to be caring for our children are exempt from this.

Early childhood educators should go through vigorous screening and have all vaccinations and booster shots kept up to date.

Vaccinations are essential to safe guarding our community, and that begins with our educators.

Quotes attributable to Shadow Minister for Families and Children Georgie Crozier:

This shows that Daniel Andrews’ vaccination policy is not only flawed but he obviously hasn’t thought it through.

Once again, like Myki and the desalination plant, Daniel Andrews has failed to think through the detail.
