CORONAVIRUS — VACCINATIONS — TEXT MESSAGING
953. Hon Dr BRIAN WALKER to the Leader of the House
representing the Premier:
I
refer to reports earlier this month that the Queensland government was planning
to send residents in some of the state's lowest vaccination
areas geographically targeted text messages urging those in specific suburbs to
get vaccinated. Does the McGowan government have any plans to do likewise here
in WA; and, if not, why not?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
Yes, text messaging has been and
will continue to be used to engage with targeted cohorts who have registered
with VaccinateWA.
