Highlight news
There are currently over 1,500 practices currently administering Pfizer across the country, and approximately 280 new general practices have been invited to commence administering Pfizer in August. The August rollout has a high proportion of non-metro sites to continue to expand the Pfizer footprint and provide coverage to areas with low access.
Many general practices have queried why they have not yet been invited to commence administering Pfizer and when they will be able to begin. All interested general practices will have the opportunity to receive Pfizer in the coming weeks and months.
Due to supply constraints, it was not possible for the Commonwealth to allocate Pfizer doses to all general practices during July. Practices in areas with limited access such as regional, rural and remote areas, and COVID-19 hotspots, have been prioritised in the first instance to maximise the impact of the rollout across Australia and ensure protection for eligible individuals living in areas where there is an increased risk of contracting COVID-19.
The selection of practices is in no way a reflection on the quality or ability of individual general practices. As soon as more vaccine becomes available, the Government will progressively transition general practices to Pfizer. It is anticipated that all interested participating general practices who meet the site requirements will be offered a Pfizer allocation in coming weeks/months as supply increases.
There are still approximately 500 eligible general practices that have not applied to administer the Pfizer vaccination. The Expression of Interest process is ongoing and your local PHN can provide more information.
