Doctors, pharmacists call for better support to prescribe anti-virals
8 July 2022 - Pandemic measures including home delivery of medicines and subsidised Telehealth appointments should be reinstated to allow easier access to anti-virals, doctors and pharmacists say, with an older cohort of people catching COVID-19 in the latest wave.
Pharmaceutical Society of Australia president Dr Fei Sim said people ill with COVID-19 were now attending pharmacies to fill scripts for their medicine, including prescribed anti-virals, after the COVID-19 Home Medicines Service ended on June 30.
