I can understand why people won't wear them all day.

Really, all they need to know is what is on that GP confirmation.

It's been that way since it was brought in Des, the first day of the double vax rule people were flashing their bits of paper and it was ok. (If those checking knew the rules)Quote:

The Feds had to confirm with NSW who I was [bighmmm]
Man of mystery [biggrin]
Similar prob here............. was the last GP thing getting an electrofishing medical, was it when I got vax #2 and wouldn't have a clue who the GP was on duty at the clinic?Quote:

Maybe not a 007, but a CLINT is still noteworthy.[bigrolf]
Our last day of 2021 vax has now been brought forward to 2:45 today. Guinea Pigs spring to mind.[bighmmm]
EDIT.
All done signed, sealed & delivered & Jelly Bean eaten. No after effects unless you count being a grumpy bastard at other driver's incompetence on the way home. Got Pfizer this time for a booster, Jab 1&2 were AV.
Maybe we will all be back at this time next year for a booster for the booster, for the booster, ad infinitum.
In the meantime here's to a long life for all Auroians & long protection from this bloody thing & your shares in Pfizer remain prosperous. :soapbox: [bigrolf]
PS. No dramas with presenting the GP's original Certificate either , they just added the Booster details to the relevant box on the form. Easy as.
In Victoria we seem to ticking along at about the same level as when restrictions fully eased. Sydney was similar but had got to a lower base before fully opening. It appears that even 90%+ is only enough to hold the rate of reproduction at 1.0. Perhaps we opened up too early, but people in general don’t want lockdowns anymore. (And those that do can always stay in self-isolation).Quote:

Presumably it is growing much faster amongst the unvaxxed who seem to like to gather together in defiance. But we are seeing an increase in the % of people in ICU who are fully vaccinated, and with ICU case numbers on the rise again it is only a matter of time before Dan feels the need to exercise his new found powers.
Officially we have around 600 ICU beds, and it is claimed we can handle up to 4000 ICU cases but no one wants to see this happen. Interesting and challenging times ahead.
