CANBERRA, March 9 (Xinhua) Australian authorities will begin collecting language and ethnic data from everyone who receives a coronavirus vaccine to better document uptake in migrant communities.
The Department of Health on Monday confirmed that everyone who volunteers to receive a COVID-19 vaccine will be asked where they were born and what language they speak at home.
The data will then be used to identify communities where the uptake of vaccines is lowest, allowing the government to channel culturally appropriate information campaigns about the safety and efficacy of vaccines.
Similar data has been collected from every Australian who has tested positive for COVID-19 since late 2020. ....
