On workforce vaccinations, some 72,707 vaccinations of staff and non-residents have been completed through the Commonwealth's in-reach service, with 39,874 having received a first dose and 32,833 having received a second dose. One of the early decisions taken by the AHPPC, when asked to look into this matter by the national cabinet, was whether aged-care workers should have mandated vaccinations to be in residential aged-care facilities. When this was put to the AHPPC medical expert panel, they did not agree to recommend that. But I'll ask the minister to add further to the answer.
