Increases in vaccine uptakes among older people are still very slow. Less than 1.2 million people over 60 finished their 2nd doses in the last 30 days.
Many older people will not take vaccine unless there is an active threat of infection, but when there is an outbreak, it's risky to queue for vaccination, so they wait until the outbreak's controlled. By the time the outbreak's controlled, they feel safe again so no need to get vaccinated. Rinse and repeat.
The government needs to either have a vaccine mandate or announce a firm date of ending the zero covid policy and free treatment for covid. Increase copay for people who are unvaccinated without a valid reason.
