National Cabinet could today change the definition of ‘fully vaccinated’ in Australia to apply only to people who’ve had three doses of a Covid vaccine, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has warned.
Mr Andrews said on Thursday that he hoped state premiers and chief ministers will agree to the updated definition at a meeting this afternoon.
‘The third dose has never been more important, particularly as we head towards the first day of school,’ Mr Andrews told reporters.
‘This is not a two-dose thing (or) two doses and a bonus – it is absolutely critical and essential. Hopefully we get that confirmation today.’
