The Australian Medical Association Queensland President has urged vaccine-hesitant Australians to stop dragging their feet. 

Around 45 per cent of Australians are fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, but Dr Chris Perry told Sofie Formica 95 per cent would be a reasonable target.

“That’s what the vaccination rate is in children.”

He added after more than six billion vaccine doses administered across the globe, most people are realising inoculation is safe.

“A lot of the anti-vaxxers need to take a big breath, stop getting excited, stop looking on their mobiles phones at their so-called ‘research’.

“Just grow up and get the damn vaccine!

“Stop mucking around, stop pretending your superiorly intelligent and better informed than the rest of the world is and just get your vaccine and grow up!”
