Senior Victorian nurses have implored the vaccine hesitant to get the jab as they described very young patients with COVID-19 begging to be vaccinated as they are about to be put on life support.

Their plea came as the state recorded 1220 new cases, an 18 per cent fall from the record 1488 cases reported on Saturday, and third highest of the past seven days.
