Victoria is waiting for updated advice from Australia's expert immunisation group before making a call on whether to mandate third COVID-19 doses for more workers and venues.
Health Minister Martin Foley on Tuesday said Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton is yet to be consulted on a plan to expand the state's third jab mandate because the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation was still considering the issue.
For several weeks now, Premier Daniel has been suggesting people would soon need three doses to be deemed "fully vaccinated" instead of two.
