THE mandating of COVID-19 vaccinations in Victorian workplaces, other than vulnerable health and aged care environments, must end, according to Western Victoria MP, Bev McArthur.

The call came just a day before the State Government announced face masks would no longer be required on public transport from yesterday onwards - the decision brings Victoria in line with mask requirements in most other states and will provide more national consistency on the approach to mask wearing.
