Calls for Australia to hold off ‘opening up’ until kids are also vaccinated

And his predecessor has back him in.

Dr Andrew Miller told Tom Elliott said there needed to be a plan to vaccinate kids.

“Right now parents and kids around the country don’t have any choice, little kids don’t have any voice,” the former WA AMA boss said.
