$200 million federal government plan for chemists to deliver free COVID jabs – Sydney Morning Herald
The Morrison government will enlist thousands of chemists across the country to roll out coronavirus vaccines.
Pharmacies in major cities will be paid up to $42 per person $16 per jab, and $10 after the second vaccination while the vaccine itself will be provided free of charge. In rural and regional areas the payment will be $48 per person.
