IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING VACCINATION ENTRY RESTRICTIONS IN VICTORIAN AGED CARE HOMES: ACE issued a version of this article on 3 August 2020 which stated that visitors to Victorian aged care homes were no longer required to have up-to-date influenza vaccinations. The article correctly reflected the changes made in Care Facilities Direction (No 8). However, in correspondence sent 5 August 2020, the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services advised that they made an error when drafting Care Facilities Direction (No 8).
