INCREASED COVAX supply: Pharmacy Guild of Australia national president, Adjunct Professor Trent Twomey, has welcomed the expected delivery of more COVID-19 vaccine doses.
In recent days Governments have announced six figure numbers of doses to be delivered immediately into some capital cities and regional areas to help address supply problems.
Experience shows that in some areas, two weeks of vaccine stocks have been used in two days.
Twomey is also calling for minimal wait times between pharmacies joining the rollout and arrival of vaccine stocks. It's important pharmacies be able to use the Community Service Obligation wholesaler network for prompt deliveries.
The Prime Minister continues to acknowledge to Australians the vital role pharmacists play in the national vaccination effort.
As Twomey says, all aspects of life carry risk but the way to mitigate COVID risk is through having the vaccine if you are over 18.
