Over 400 school teachers in Victoria have been stood down for not getting vaccinated for COVID-19.
Premier Daniel Andrews says he won't apologise for the policy, and that"vaccines work, vaccines save lives".
"I'm not going to apologise. Vaccines work, vaccines save lives and I'm very confident that people who have had one or two will get three very quickly and I thank them for that," he said. Those who failed to meet mandate requirements by 25 March were placed on forced leave and are unable to work."As of 26 April, 99.2 per cent of the Victorian government teaching service have had three doses of a COVID vaccine and are permitted to attend work," a department spokesperson said.
