VACCINE HESITANCY
Weighing up the real risks with AstraZeneca
Twenty-nine per cent of adult Australians surveyed have reported they are unlikely to get the COVID-19 jab (The Age, 19/5). The sideeffects are the most commonly cited reason, but many people also believe there is no rush to be vaccinated. This is despite exhortations from experts who tell us that we are not done with COVID-19 yet and a level of herd immunity is essential for the safe opening of our borders.

After 140 years, researchers have rediscovered an Aboriginal ceremonial ground in Victoria’s East Gippsland. The site was host to the last young men’s initiation ceremony of the Gunaikurnai back in 1884, witnessed by the anthropologist A.W. Howitt.
Howitt’s field notes, combined with contemporary Gunaikurnai knowledge of their country, has led to the rediscovery. The site is located on public land, on the edge of the small fishing village of Seacombe. Its precise location had been lost following decades of colonial suppression of Gunaikurnai ritual and religious practices.
