Seems your Australian directive of the vaccine has disappeared just as I was going to reply. I did some research. It seems you are taking the word 'poison' to conclude the vaccine is a danger to us all. That is not quite what the act that the Standard falls under implies. Schedule 5 tells of how the 'Poison' is to be labeled and used.
I can not get below the table below to give my impression of what you were trying to imply with the picture. I got the impression that you were posting the picture with the word 'poison' being used as we do here in North America. Seems Australians use it another way. But that does not seem to bother you in twisting the meaning to something more nefarious than what Australians use. I just picked out some odd ones on schedule 5.

PRINCIPLES OF SCHEDULING
Poisons are not scheduled on the basis of a universal scale of toxicity. Although toxicity is one of the factors considered, and is itself a complex of factors, the decision to include a substance in a particular Schedule also takes into account many other criteria such as the purpose of use, potential for abuse, safety in use and the need for the substance.
This Standard lists poisons in ten Schedules according to the degree of control recommended to be exercised over their availability to the public.
Poisons for therapeutic use (medicines) are mostly included in Schedules 2, 3, 4 and 8 with progression through these Schedules signifying increasingly restrictive regulatory controls.
For some medicines and agricultural, domestic and industrial poisons, Schedules 5, 6 and 7 represent increasingly stricter container and labelling requirements with special regulatory controls over the availability of the poisons listed in Schedule 7. Products for domestic use must not include poisons listed in Schedule 7.
“
Poison” means any substance or preparation included in a Schedule to this Standard.
1.3 Primary packs and immediate containers
(1) The primary pack and immediate container of a poison must be labelled as follows:
a) with the signal word or words relating to the Schedule in which the poison is included and the purpose for which it is to be used, as shown in the following table:
Schedule | Purpose | Signal words required |
2 | for any purpose | PHARMACY MEDICINE |
3 | for any purpose | PHARMACIST ONLY MEDICINE |
4 | for human use | PRESCRIPTION ONLY MEDICINE |
4 | for animal use | PRESCRIPTION ANIMAL REMEDY |
5 | for any purpose | CAUTION |
6 | for any purpose | POISON |
7 | for any purpose | DANGEROUS POISON |
8 | for any purpose | CONTROLLED DRUG |
written:
i) on the first line or lines of the main label; and
ii) in bold-face sans serif capital letters of uniform thickness; and
iii) in letters at least half the height of the largest letter or numeral on the label but need not be larger than:
A) 6 millimetres on labels for packages having a nominal capacity of 2 litres or less; or
B) 15 millimetres on labels for packages having a nominal capacity of more than 2 litres; and
iv) if the poison:
A) is a Schedule 5 poison, with nothing, other than a Class label as specified in the
Australian Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail or a statement of the principal hazard of the poison, written on that line; or
Schedule 5 | Caution – Substances with a low potential for causing harm, the extent of which can be reduced through the use of appropriate packaging with simple warnings and safety directions on the label. |
Schedule 6 | Poison – Substances with a moderate potential for causing harm, the extent of which can be reduced through the use of distinctive packaging with strong warnings and safety directions on the label. |
Schedule 7 | Dangerous Poison – Substances with a high potential for causing harm at low exposure and which require special precautions during manufacture, handling or use. These poisons should be available only to specialised or authorised users who have the skills necessary to handle them safely. Special regulations restricting their availability, possession, storage or use may apply. |
Schedule 8 | Controlled Drug – Substances which should be available for use but require restriction of manufacture, supply, distribution, possession and use to reduce abuse, misuse and physical or psychological dependence. |
Schedule 9 | Prohibited Substance – Substances which may be abused or misused, the manufacture, possession, sale or use of which should be prohibited by law except when required for medical or scientific research, or for analytical, teaching or training purposes with approval of Commonwealth and/or State or Territory Health Authorities. |
