Vaccinating 80% of Australia in 8 months means 170,000 injections per day every day; 4 times the average daily number Covid tests (Apr-Dec). Our health system will struggle to vaccinate while fighting outbreaks unless quarantine flaws are strengthened before March.

Many people could be trained to give vaccinations. I’m sure, like me, there are others who have done this in the past could be quickly be brought up to speed.

Can the Gov not get private healthcare on board with this? They got us involved at the beginning of the pandemic to help with surgery & adding ICU beds. Why not this too?

Time to increase the diversity in approved/registered vaccinators. Course costs are prohibitive with variable quality. Improve access to training and standardise education now.

Pharmacists?

It gets better when the WHO states that vaccinations are no guarantee that it won't spread within the community thus unless 100% of those getting immunised don't have covod while queuing for the vaccine it will cause it to spread faster

Can't see why that couldn't be done, Australia wide shouldn't be a problem.

Its an unrealistic number. Which has no basis in reality.

thanks for this - I've been wondering how realistic the projections were. and thank you for your work on Covid more generally.
