We were joined last Monday evening by Dr Katie Allen MP, the member for Higgins.
Katie advised that she received supported from the Footscray RC some years ago when undertaking some research and as a result attended many rotary club meetings across the State.
Katie's presentation mainly focused on the Covid vaccination roll-out and she indicated that the early decision to close the international boarders was a significant factor in positioning Australia where it is today. There is vaccination hesitancy with 35% thinking it is too fast and 10% thinking it is too slow. This makes it a difficult path for governments to navigate.
Katie concluded her presentation by responding to many questions on a variety of topic.
Many thanks Katie for taking the time to join our Club meeting.
