STAFF from Capital Chemist Hobart recently provided vaccination services with a difference to the crew of P&O's Pacific Adventure.
Capital Chemist Managing Partner Lauren Sullivan was contacted by satellite phone several weeks prior to the ship docking and facilitated the provision of Covid boosters to seafaring staff from 47 different nationalities.
The P&O ship staff were provided with appointment times over the two days that the ship was in port in Hobart, as part of a round that included a Tasmania cruise prior to the ship going to Vanuatu.
Sullivan said: "It was a challenge to ensure adequate supplies of vaccine were available but with staggered appointment times over the two days, and plenty of space to monitor staff after vaccination, it was actually quite a smooth process".
Group Business Manager Andrew Topp said that this expedition was completely in line with Capital Chemist's mission statement "to improve each person's health and wellbeing.
"That counts whether on land or at sea!"
