Premier Daniel Andrews AUS

Premier Daniel Andrews on Friday issued an ultimatum to hundreds of thousands of Victorians: get vaccinated for Covid-19 in the next fortnight or risk losing your job.

All Victorian authorised workers must have their first vaccine dose by October 15 and a second by November 26 to keep working on site, as part of a new statewide mandate.

The requirement will cover retail workers, personal trainers, MPs, journalists, faith leaders, judges, police, lawyers, actors and professional sportspeople.
