MOVING towards vaccination targets: With Moderna the latest COVID-19 vaccine to be rolling out through community pharmacies, Australia is accelerating towards 70% and 80% vaccination targets under the national COVID plan.
This expanded vaccination effort is key to easing restrictions across several States and the ACT.
Announcing the Moderna rollout with the Prime Minister, Pharmacy Guild National President Trent Twomey encouraged Australians to visit their local community pharmacy and roll up their sleeves.
Twomey said the vaccination effort was built on a history of service: "Community pharmacies have kept their doors open during bushfires, floods and now through a once in a generation global pandemic."
Community pharmacists will host Shadow Health Minister, The Hon Mark Butler, to their fortnightly webinar on 22 Sep, this follows recent dialogue with Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese on vaccinations, regulatory differences between governments, red tape, scope of practice and affordability of medicines.
