Subject: Freedom of Information request - Percentage of WA Parliament
Members Fully Vaccinated for Covid 19

 

Dear WA Department of the Premier and Cabinet,

 

Requesting to view any documentation via FOI that advises of the number of
WA parliament members fully vaccinated for Covid 19 at present (date
29/04/2022), fully vaccinated meaning having received a minimum of 2
doses. Can this number preferably be expressed as an overall percentage
and/or as a number which also includes the total number of members
regardless of vaccination status alongside as to gauge this from if
available in such a format. Thank you.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Aurora Gardens
