Vaccinations enabled in workplaces to speed up rollout
Published at : September 16, 2021
Australian businesses have been given the green light to join the vaccine rollout - turning building sites, warehouses and supermarkets into vaccination centres.
Previously the insufficient number of vaccines meant the government had to prioritise certain groups, such as older Australians.
Now it is all about speeding up the vaccination process and inoculating as many Australians as quickly as possible, with incoming additional doses of Pfizer and Moderna to enable this.
Businesses have been pushing for this for a while, and Lieutenant General John Frewen, in charge of the vaccine taskforce, gave businesses the tick of approval on Monday.
Businesses would enlist a provider and would then be sent a nurse or a medical professional to enable the vaccination process.
This will start early October, and costs will be covered by taxpayers.
