Five new local general practices now providing COVID-19 vaccinations
As part of the ongoing National COVID-19 vaccination rollout, an additional five general practices in the Murrumbidgee region will commence administering COVID-19 vaccinations in June, bringing the total number of vaccinating general practices to 72.
Starting this week Berrigan Medical Centre; Forest Hill Medical Centre, Wagga Wagga; Lakeside Medical Centre, Finley, Vecare Health, Holbrook; and Riverina Family Medicine, Wagga Wagga will begin taking appointments.
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.
