COVAX surge
FROM a staged rollout in the second half of 2021, vaccinations against COVID-19 through community pharmacies continue to surge.
Latest data places pharmacies at the centre of the national effort against COVID-19.
By Christmas Eve 2021, three million vaccinations were delivered by pharmacies.
With the sector open and trading across the Christmas-New Year break, this rose to four million by 18 January and has now passed five million.
As Pharmacy Guild National President, Professor Trent Twomey, says: Trusted, highly professional community pharmacies are leading the national effort to return to normal, or at least to a 'new normal' economic and social way of life -- schools are back, offices are reopening, travel resuming and supply chains gradually returning to full operation.
Enquiry through the Guild's www.findapharmacy.com.au website has seen a massive upswing, to book booster doses but also to locate Rapid Antigen Tests under the new concession card holder scheme.
