My question is to the Minister for Health and Aged Care, and I refer to his previous answer. Right up until today, GPs have been advising patients they require a 14-day gap between COVID and flu shots. Only this morning, the aged care minister cited that 14-day gap as the reason for the slow COVID vaccine rollout in aged-care facilities. Minister, when did the Chief Medical Officer's advice change and when was that change communicated to the medical profession?
