Currently, there has been a lot of discussion about the Covid-19 Vaccine. General Practices across Australia have been asked to help provide the Covid Vaccine. Gasworks Medical Practice has been approved to be a vaccination provider for the Covid-19 vaccination from 5th April 2021. We have been allocated 100 vaccines on a fortnightly basis. This is substantially less than is needed to vaccinate our patients. We will endeavour to run more clinics once the Department of Health increases our vaccine supply.
