Pharmacies across NSW are working with the state government to determine which locations will be the first to start using chemists to administer the COVID-19 vaccine, with more than 1200 earmarked by the federal government as suitable for the job.
Some of the state’s rural and remote pharmacies could be the first to start administering the AstraZeneca vaccine, says David Heffernan, the NSW branch president of the Pharmacy Guild.
In February, thousands of pharmacies applied to be part of the vaccine rollout. More than 3900 community pharmacies across the country were deemed suitable, and since then staff have undergone training to prepare for the rollout.
