MPHN Acting CEO Julie Redway said the five new general practices will provide people in the Murrumbidgee region with easier access to the vaccine. 

“All of the participating Murrumbidgee region general practices, medical services and vaccination hubs are working tirelessly to provide this important vaccine to their communities and keep everyone safe,” Ms Redway said.

“With five additional general practices coming on board, more areas of the Murrumbidgee will be provided with access to vaccination without the need for long journeys.”

MPHN’s COVID-19 Pandemic Lead, Dr Alison Koschel said participating general practices and vaccination hubs are working together to meet increasing demand.

“We are seeing more people take the opportunity to get vaccinated in recent weeks which is a positive sign the community is getting behind this effort. All of our participating vaccinators are prepared and appointments can be made either online or by phoning the practice or hub.” Dr Koschel said.
