Northern Rivers and Clarence Valley people first in line for the COVID-19 vaccine will have to travel to get their jabs.
According to information released by NSW Health, the first round of vaccinations will be delivered by a series of hubs based at hospitals across the state.
For northern NSW residents, that means a trip to Coffs Harbour hospital, which is the only hospital north of Newcastle set to deliver the first stage of the vaccine rollout.
It is part of what is called Phase 1a of the vaccine roll out, which due to the limited doses of the vaccine available in Australia in the first few months will be restricted to these hubs. The other hubs will be located at RPA, Westmead and Liverpool hospitals, followed by Hornsby, St George, Nepean, Newcastle, Wollongong, Dubbo and Wagga Wagga hospitals.
