Goulburn Valley residents won’t have to travel to the doctor’s office to receive a COVID-19 vaccination this winter they’ll only have to find a nearby pharmacy.
Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt announced on Sunday that Australia’s approximately 5800 community pharmacies would be invited to participate in the delivery of the AstraZeneca COVID19 vaccine later this year.
Community pharmacies will be an important partner in the rollout of coronavirus vaccines alongside hospitals and GP offices doubling vaccine sites Australia-wide to 2000.
Avenel pharmacist Martin Sala from Avenel Pharmacy said he welcomed the decision to have the vaccine administered in pharmacies.
