All of Australia is anxiously awaiting news on what the future holds as we approach the vaccination targets for the next phases in the national plan to transition the COVID-19 response. The entry targets for these next critical phases are, 70 percent of adults fully vaccinated for Phase B and then 80 percent for Phase C. It is important to note that even the 80% target does not equate to “opening up” but refers to transitioning to a durable model of COVID-19 control that allows us to live with the virus. Phase D with as yet undefined entry criteria is the final step once we have found setting levels that provide a workable equilibrium, and certainty, for our health sector and our community.
