Huge hit : Doctors, vaccine researchers see surge in vaccine hesitancy

Advertisement Doctors and immunisation researchers have observed a spike in vaccine hesitancy among older patients following cases of a rare blood clotting condition associated with the AstraZeneca vaccine emerging in Australia. Some doctors say they have noticed a dramatic reduction in the number of patients aged over 70 – who are among the earliest recipients of the vaccine – booking appointments for immunisation against coronavirus at their clinics, leaving some with hundreds of unused doses each week.

Coronavirus Victoria: Scott Morrison urged by James Merlino to show more urgency on vaccines

âWe had a hit to public confidence in terms of the Commonwealth announcement [on AstraZeneca] last Thursday night. We need to get on with it.â Mr Merlino said Australia needed an âurgent recalibrationâ on vaccines and Victoria was open to the idea of mass vaccination hubs beyond ones already active at the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre and Royal Exhibition Centre in Carlton, as flagged by Mr Morrison on Wednesday. Advertisement âThese are the things that we will be urgently raising with the federal government at national cabinet,â Mr Merlino said. âIn hourly conversations between our public health officials and Commonwealth health officials, we put on the table that Pfizer should be under 50s, AstraZeneca should be diverted to Victorian GPs. Weâre open to do much more.â

Coronavirus: Mass vaccination hubs flagged by PM Scott Morrison

WeÂ were looking at rolling out theÂ mass vaccination perhaps later onÂ in the plan, he said. GP clinics were alwaysÂ going to be the focus of the 1BÂ rollout and then pharmacists wereÂ going to join on board. Dr Bartone said the mass hubs would rely on robust supply and availability , necessitating a build-up of AstraZeneca vaccines and the incoming 20 million Pfizer doses. But 1B is GP-led, and that s where patients want to go, he said. Doctors have said mass hubs will not service older Australians well.(Getty) (Mass vaccination hubs) are anÂ important part as we get into phaseÂ 2B and the younger population whichÂ are much more mobile and don t haveÂ that immediate access to generalÂ practice in a routine.
