Disability provider denies services to clients who get COVID–19 vaccine over unfounded shedding concerns
The head of Australia’s Immunisation Coalition has raised concerns that some of society’s most vulnerable people may not receive the services they deserve because of unfounded concerns about COVID–19 vaccines.

- She says she is worried they could shed the virus
- The Immunisation Coalition says that is not possible
