Melbourne GP clinic with capacity to vaccinate 2,100 a week supplied with just 50 doses – The Guardian
Government vaccine hubs not necessary as GPs are well-placed to administer vacciations but lack supply, Victorian doctor says
Since the Covid vaccine rollout began, Dr Shea Wilcox and his team have been ready to run a de facto mass vaccination hub from their general practitioners clinic in Brunswick East, Melbourne.
With just a single nurse, the team could have delivered 2,100 doses a week. Rostering on more nurses would have increased capacity significantly.
Their best-laid plans, however, unravelled in early April, when a pitiful supply of 50 doses a week began arriving in fortnightly deliveries.
