CORONAVIRUS — VACCINATIONS — TARGET
661. Ms M.J. DAVIES to the Minister for Health:
I refer to the minister's
comments reported over the weekend by the ABC's Kenith Png —
� ''announcements''
about the government's plan to open up the state will be made before Western
Australia reaches the crucial milestone of having 80 per cent of its
population aged 16 and over fully vaccinated.
(1) Could the
minister clarify his comments? Are we working towards 80 per cent vaccination,
including those aged 12 and over, or 16 and over?
(2) Who is your
government consulting in the formulation of the aforementioned plan?
Dr A.D. Buti :
Definitely not Nick Goiran!

It is certainly not Hon Nick
Goiran!
(1)–(2) What
we were discussing on the weekend was the opening of the new vaccination clinic
at the Armadale shopping centre. It was great to be there. We had Tony Galati
and Alicia—I did not catch her second name—from the Wirrpanda
Foundation as part of the Aboriginal family day activities. I was joined by the
member for Darling Range, the member for Armadale, and the member for Jandakot,
celebrating another great initiative by the McGowan government to continue to
extend the opportunities for people to be vaccinated.
Obviously,
what the media were curious about was: when are we going to be making further
announcements? Of course, the answer to that question is: we are making
announcements all the time. We are making announcements on vaccinations; we are
making announcements on the health workforce; and we are making announcements on more opportunities to be
vaccinated. We will continue to do that right throughout the process.
