I would’ve thought an injection is faster than a test? And also, doesn’t involve PPE?
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.

Replying to @profsarahj
mass vacc will use no gloves, require hand hygiene between patients, Pfizer requires informed consent, check no contraindications, drawing up .3mls & quality check of solution before inject, review each person after injections. UK factors 15mins. Faster just needs more staff

I’m a CCRN with immunisation experience & very happy to help out with the mass vaccination program as are all my mates. If it stops our EDs & ICUs becoming infectious Covid wards we are more than happy to help out
