I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1) The number is
52 202.
(2) The total percentage of the healthcare workforce
fully vaccinated is 66 per cent, and 74 per cent of healthcare workers
have received a first dose. WA Health does not separate data for clinical and
non-clinical employees. WA Health has targeted all healthcare workers, both
clinical and non-clinical, as all of them may be involved in caring for people
in hospital.
(3) Healthcare
workers across WA have been provided access to COVID-19 vaccinations through
their workplaces and can walk into any state-run clinic at any time and be
vaccinated.
