Sydney News: GPs angry as COVID-19 vaccine Phase 1b rollout begins
Here’s what you need to know this morning.
Vaccine roll-out frustration
The Port Stephens GP Super Clinic says it spent time and money getting ready to dispense up to 1,000 COVID-19 vaccines a day, only to be allocated far fewer doses.
The super clinic’s Anna Davidson says her practice spent $10,000 on new vaccine fridges.
“We basically got our whole clinic to be ready to be able to vaccinate up to 1,000 people a day if we were called upon and when we were approved as a vaccine centre, and we got our allocation, we got 50 vaccines a week.”
There has been backlash over how the vaccine will be distributed, with GPs saying they’ve been overwhelmed with calls as the Phase 1b roll-out that starts today.
