Vaccine options expanded

People in Melbourne’s north-west have more places to get their COVID-19 vaccines, with TerryWhite Chemmart pharmacies now administering the jab.

TerryWhite and Chemmart last week started administering the AstraZeneca vaccine in more than 400 of their pharmacies across the country.

TerryWhite Chemmart chief pharmacist Brenton Hart said as of last Monday, only 26 per cent of Australians were fully vaccinated meaning more had to be done.

“We expect pharmacists will drive uptake and improve vaccination rates as one of the most accessible health professionals in the community,” he said.

“Our experienced pharmacists have been at the frontline of the pandemic since its beginning. Our pharmacists have been trained to administer the COVID-19 vaccine in anticipation of this day and are eager to start vaccinating Australians with what is our best defence against the virus.

“We all have a job to play in protecting ourselves, our families and others to get through this pandemic,”

Woodend, Woodlea, Watergardens, Sunshine, Sunbury, South Morang, Maddingley, Kyneton, Keilor Village, Greenvale Lakes and Brimbank Shopping Centre are among the pharmacies who are rolling out the vaccines.
