Frustrated GPs threaten to pull out of COVID-19 vaccination program – Sydney Morning Herald

Dr Maria Boulton, a Brisbane practice owner and director of the Australian GP Alliance of about 150 owners, said clinics should be paid double what they are getting (about $31 for the first jab and $24 for the second). She said she knew of several clinics that will pull out of the program.
