‘We can’t do much with 50 doses’: GPs concerned about supply, capability of COVID-19 vaccine
7 March 2021 - With GPs to start vaccinating patients against COVID-19 in two weeks, one doctor in Melbourne’s west says his practice is considering delaying its rollout because the allocation of 50 doses a week will not allow it to “set something up which is sustainable”.
Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt defended the program on Sunday, saying the 4,000 GP practices that registered to be involved was twice what the government expected and health practitioners would not be left out of pocket.
