$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.
Typically people are charged $15-$20 by pharmacies for a flu jab, which includes the cost of that vaccine. The government has already announced additional payments for doctors to work after hours and on weekends to perform coronavirus vaccinations.
