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.
Key points:
- An NDIS provider has written to clients saying she will not treat them if they get a COVID–19 vaccine
- She says she is worried they could shed the virus
- The Immunisation Coalition says that is not possible
Coalition chairman Rod Pearce was shown an email to a patient’s grandson saying his care provider was removing her services to all clients who had received a COVID–19 vaccine, because of the “risk” of them shedding the virus.
COVID-19 vaccines do not contain the live virus.
