The Commonwealth Bank has one of the most advanced projects, which would use the company’s health contractors to replicate its annual flu vaccine program with an AstraZeneca or Pfizer dose for all staff and their families in a voluntary program. Those vaccination clinics could also be opened to the general public.
“We’ve already started in-reach programs to vaccinate key distribution centre workers for the retailers and will shortly be looking at a similar program to help vaccinate construction workers,” he said. General Frewen was also encouraging pharmacies and GPs to order more AstraZeneca, and those doses would be fast-tracked particularly to pharmacies in NSW where there had been a strong uptake of the vaccine.
With 12 million doses of the vaccines now administered across the country, Mr Morrison says the country was starting to hit the mark with vaccination targets.
