The Australian government says it won't make COVID-19 vaccines compulsory when they begin the roll-out next month. But lawyers say that won't stop privately-owned businesses from denying service to those who refuse the jab.
Highlights
- The first lot of Australians could be receiving their coronavirus vaccines as soon as mid-February.
- Prime Minister Scott Morrison has assured the country that vaccines will not be mandatory but legally the government is within its rights to make them compulsory.
- About 60 to 70 per cent of the population will need to get vaccinated to create an effective level of protection.
- Qantas has said anyone seeking to fly internationally with them would eventually need to show proof that they have been vaccinated against COVID-19.
