The NSW Premier says those who make the choice not to get vaccinated will face the consequences of missing out on freedoms.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian says unvaccinated residents should be prepared to not be able to enjoy post-lockdown freedoms – whether government mandated or imposed by private organisations.
As the state celebrates six million doses of the vaccine now having been administered, Ms Berejiklian said it was incredibly likely that proof of vaccination would be required at a host of businesses.
“There is no doubt that in the future as (chief health officer) Dr (Kerry) Chant said, we can assume that many private organisations for a long period say you can only come to my premise or fly on my plane or do X, Y and Z if you have the vaccine,” she said.
“NSW has developed technology to allow us to check in and show our vaccine in one go.
“My message to everyone is that if you want to get back to normal, get your vaccine.
“If you want to do things, vaccination will be key as part of that process.”
Ms Berejiklian and Dr Chant are discussing what freedoms fully vaccinated NSW residents will be able to enjoy come September and October.
“We’ve got 60 per cent of our population with at least one dose. That gives you a certain level of protection,” Ms Berejiklian said.
“In some parts of the world, they’re essentially living freely with these rates of vaccination. We’re more conservative here.”
