It is part of what is called Phase 1a of the vaccine roll out, which due to the limited doses of the vaccine available in Australia in the first few months will be restricted to these hubs. The other hubs will be located at RPA, Westmead and Liverpool hospitals, followed by Hornsby, St George, Nepean, Newcastle, Wollongong, Dubbo and Wagga Wagga hospitals.
