However, the ACA is also of the view that informed personal choice is a fundamental component of best practice health care, and as such do not support mandating COVID-19 vaccinations for the chiropractic profession. The ACA acknowledges that healthcare mandates are a complex issue. Chiropractors are limited to providing patient care within private practice and outside of the frontline hospital, community care, and aged-care facilities.
