Thousands of quarantine workers to be fully vaccinated within weeks

Dedicated vaccination clinics will be set up at all of Melbourne’s quarantine hotels in a bid to have thousands of medical staff, cleaners and other front-line quarantine workers fully vaccinated against COVID-19 within about 10 weeks..

Each of Melbourne’s 10 quarantine hotels and two health hotels will have their own dedicated vaccination clinics with a coordinating pharmacist, likely operating from early in the morning to late at night.Professor Dooley said the Pfizer vials were expected to be delivered to The Alfred’s ultra-cold freezer on Sunday, allowing about 60 or 70 nurses and pharmacists on the vaccination teams to receive their own jabs early on Monday, before the rollout moves on to the two health hotels.

Australia’s hotel quarantine system has provided protection from coronavirus entering the country unchecked, but has also been the major source of leaks – triggering the deadly second wave of the virus in Victoria and a string of other outbreaks across the country. “I think the expectation should definitely be that we very significantly reduce these so-called escape events or even eliminate them if we get the process right,” said Associate Professor Paul Griffin, an infectious disease physician with the University of Queensland.

Victoria’s Chief Health Officer Professor Brett Sutton also highlighted some “encouraging” early evidence from Israel, suggesting transmission of the virus might be significantly reduced.

COVID19 👇

COVID19 You can stick the poison vaccine up your ....!

COVID19 In Israel and the UK this would take a week. The government has had a long time to prepare this roll-out. Why so slow?

COVID19 While the UK has already vaccinated millions of regular people, ScottyTheRapistProtector has seen to it that we haven't vaccinated anyone as yet. Not even front line workers.

COVID19 Makes sense, put a clinic to vaccinate non infected people at a location so they have to enter a facility where infected people are🙄

COVID19 So 8-10 weeks to vaccinate HQ workers. The same amount of time it took the UK to vaccinate over 15 million people. ScottyTheRapistProtector is doing an outstanding job 🙄 auspol

COVID19 Is this another propaganda piece for the Morrison Government ?
