The New South Wales department of health has stressed that it is impossible for people to develop, shed, or spread the virus through receiving a vaccine. The town is located in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales and is about 15km inland from Byron Bay. It is a region with a high level of vaccine hesitancy and refusal, with childhood vaccination rates among the lowest in Australia. “To get Covid-19, you must be exposed to a live Covid-19 virus,” the spokeswoman said. “No Covid-19 vaccine currently approved for use in the world contains a live coronavirus.
