Last week Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced that vaccinations against COVID-19 will become mandatory for Aged Care workers, but few details were released about the new policy.

The Quicky speaks to two experts in employment law and disease control to find out what your rights are, and whether this might be the start of a broader policy yet to come.
