Many clinics signed up expecting to receive hundreds of doses a week and spent money installing expensive vaccine fridges to store them. But some have received as few as 50 doses. Other GPs report shipments arriving late or inconsistently. “General practice does an extraordinary job of dealing with uncertainty. But it feels as though we have been set up to fail,” said Associate Professor Jared Dart, a Queensland GP and director of the Australian General Practice Alliance. Dr Dart told the federal government he could give 600 doses a week but was allocated just 80 – which arrived several days late, at 4.38pm on the day before 80 elderly patients were booked for vaccination. “It took about 10 calls to Linfox to get an answer on where they were,” Dr Dart said.
