With the COVID-19 vaccination rollout in late February, 2021, we have finally achieved up to >50% of Australian population from being fully vaccinate. We sincerely hope that all candidates have already completed their Covid vaccination. Being fully vaccinated against Covid protects you from getting severe disease, yes, but it doesn’t completely protect you from getting Covid.
A big thank you to those who had contributed in providing us with these recalls. Now let us do our part by solving these for you. You may get them from here.
