You also need to be full health to get the jab.

Guy i know who got Covid said it took him 6 months to get back to 'normal'.

So maybe thats why the 6 month wait was mentioned.

People should not be vaccinated until they have recovered from the acute illness.

If a patient tests positive for COVID-19 between their first and second doses, the patient should not receive their second dose until they have recovered from the acute illness.

People with prolonged symptoms from COVID-19 beyond 6 months should be vaccinated on a case by case basis.

MBB, I don’t think there’s a suggestion that anti-vaxxers are all neo-Nazis or even natural allies. The concern is that the neo-Nazis, alt-Right, and anti-vaxxers have promoted Covid-related protests as a recruiting tool. Your average Covid-vaccine-hesitant isn’t going to be attacking police or harassing health workers. For the committed anti-vaxxer, Covid vaccines are just another vaccine that pisses them off. The MMR vaccine is still front and centre.

I don't need a lesson from you regarding what the acronym ANTIFA represents. 

Not sure who you think is equating anti-vaxxers & neo-Nazis, EB, but this is what I wrote a couple of pages back:

It's not an acronym as the letters aren't the initial letters of other words. It's a shortening. But at least you're aware its a label, so there's no need for another label to describe it.

The news comes as the Victorian government announced it is splashing hundreds of millions of dollars to help boost the state’s public health capacity for increased Covid infections once the state opens up.
The Andrews government will also spend $2.5m in a desperate bid to lure more healthcare workers to the state to help fight the Covid pandemic.
Health Minister Martin Foley announced the multimillion-dollar investment as the state recorded an additional 1466 new locally acquired Covid-19 cases and eight more deaths on Tuesday.
Mr Foley said the package would help recruit up to 1000 healthcare workers living overseas to help ease the pressure on Victoria’s hospital staff dealing with Covid.
“This group will largely be made up of returning Australians who have wanted to come back to our healthcare workforce,” he said.
Nurses, doctors, midwives and a range of allied health professionals will be recruited under the plan.
“To be eligible for this program, healthcare workers need to have an existing employment contract with a Victorian healthcare service and have the active professional registration in place and to be ready to travel,” Mr Foley said.

Among the biggest failures of the government's approach was an initial policy at the start of the pandemic of trying to manage the spread of Covid, rather than stop it spreading altogether, the lawmakers said.
They also criticized a delayed lockdown, failures in the UK's contact-tracing program, and a lack of attention given to the most vulnerable, specifically those in the social care sector and at-risk communities -- namely Black, Asian and other ethnic minorities. The report also said there was little interest in learning from the experiences of other countries, such as those in East Asia that were the first to deal with the pandemic.
One bright spot for the UK government, however, is the speedy and effective deployment of its vaccine program, the report highlighted.
...
The report said the government -- backed by scientific advisers -- made a "serious early error" during the first three months of the pandemic by not rigorously moving to stop the virus' spread, an approach adopted by many East and Southeast Asian countries.
"This amounted in practice to accepting that herd immunity by infection was the inevitable outcome," the report said, with the likely result in "hundreds of thousands of deaths."
The UK's troubled coronavirus response becomes more complicated
The UK's troubled coronavirus response becomes more complicated
The UK has reported 138,167 fatalities from Covid-19 since the pandemic started, according to Johns Hopkins University data -- more than any other country in Western Europe.
Other countries and places in Europe and Asia, including China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand and South Korea, implemented strict border controls, social distancing and early lockdowns as soon as cases emerged -- some as early as January 2020 -- to control the pandemic.
The report said there was a degree of "groupthink" between official scientific advisers and the government in which ministers did little to question the advice they received and that meant the UK was "not as open to approaches being taken elsewhere."
This led to a delay in the nationwide lockdown, which was imposed in the UK on March 23, 2020.
"However, even when UK policy had changed to bring in a comprehensive national lockdown, the role of non-pharmaceutical interventions against Covid-19 was complex, inconsistent and opaque for most of the rest of 2020," the report added.

Mav, I am just commenting on the neo nazi fascist tag that gets used to describe anti vaxxers as a throw away line and how extreme and ignorant it is. I think someone else said same, maybe Thry and just wanted to point out that is a incorrect description and that we need to be careful how we label people.

That’s supported by articles such as this one from news.com.au (not a known left-wing site, to put it mildly):
Far-right extremists hijacked tradie Covid anger to fuel chaos and groom new recruits, expert claims.
