47 47Mrs HURN (Schubert) (12 September 2023). What are the current requirements around COVID-19 vaccinations for frontline health workers?

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing): I have been advised:

COVID-19 requirements for SA Health healthcare workers are as per SA Health's Policy: Addressing vaccine preventable disease: Occupational assessment, screening, and vaccination.This strongly recommends that category A, B and C healthcare workers to be up-to-date with COVID-19 vaccinations and any additional COVID-19 vaccinations as recommended by the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI).

COVID-19 vaccination policies for healthcare workers who do not work for SA Health are the responsibility of individual employers.
