The chief executive of the aged care organisation that manages the Brisbane facility where two residents were given incorrect doses of the coronavirus vaccine says they will report the GP involved in the incident to the medical regulator.
“Before vaccinations continue at any of our sites, Healthcare Australia or any other provider will need to confirm that this training and expertise of the clinicians they have engaged so that an incident like this does not happen again.” “What has happened is an individual error and I am sure there will be a review of the process by Healthcare Australia as well as the federal government to ensure that does not happen again,” he said.

But it appears dancing will not be allowed at this year’s Mardi Gras.overdoses of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine Federal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg has defended the government’s decision to increase JobSeeker payments by, saying that 600,000 fewer people are on JobKeeper, which shows the economy is recovering and “that people don’t need those broader supports”.
Researchers measured viral loads daily in 65 patients with COVID-19, including seven who were infected with the UK variant.
Blame it on the states.
Most doctors reading this are appalled at the overreaction this story has had. Go to any hospital in Australia and you will find far worse medication errors with actual patient harm (hydromorphone, antipsychotics etc) with common medications, let alone multidose vials.
It’s says 5 doses on the bottle, even i know what that means . So what’s the required training … know how to read English ? What’s the doctor’s name? Bet it’s not dr smith
Oh please don't give us that absolute BS
Yes. Counting Is Hard.
Where did they do their medical training ?
All vaccines given have to be double checked. Why didn't the doctor have his syringes with dose checked before he gave them. Shine if this was a nurse. Probabaly would have had to stand down from practice.
Nothing like a sh*tshow like this to inspire confidence.
Another liberal debacle ... hello Ruby Princess
LyndaFrench19 UNREAL
Give them a break. It’s hard work running a country. And it’s not their fault there are so many uneducated, illiterate and morally bankrupt people who keep voting for them.
“The” Doctor Who.
Fed govt can't manage anything
Was it his first job since being on the dole since being a PinkBatts Installer? Whats his PHD? dearohdear smh australian AusOpinion auspol COVID19Aus
A doctor needs to be trained to give an injection? Is that really something they learn on the job? What do they study for all those years at Uni. Beside manners? dearohdear smh australian AusOpinion auspol COVID19Aus COVID19 couriermail
This will send the antivaxxsquad into hysterical overdrive in their misguided crusade.
Fake news. Trust the science. The science doesn't operate in a vacuum, its acolytes, known as They Who Must Not Be Questioned As They Understand The Science's Directives, do not err. No, this is the work of an extreme right, Nazi Trump supporter. Can't fool us.
4 times. Didn’t know there was that much in a vial. Must be very different from the US.
How. Is. Such. Incompetence. Possible? Australia is a first world country, isn’t it It’s 2021, isn’t it No words......
Lucky it wasnt a pink batt they were misusing
LNP still trying to kill off the elderly to save on pension payouts
according to the apparent rules of parliamentary media coverage , the minister should be grilled harshly and daily and calls for his resignation made loudly for this failure on his watch , except...... he’s LNP sorryDan
Exactly how much training does a qualified Dr need to give a vaccination? I thought they came in ampules of the correct amount?
I’m glad GregHuntMP spent the last few months carefully planning the vaccine rollout. Otherwise he might have cocked it up in the first few days - how embarrassing would that have been! Oh wait...🤦
The vigilant nurse who noticed the problem had not done the training but she knew something was wrong
When the rubber hit the road When execution is more important than spin
And where else have we seen contractors providing unqualified staff to aged care facilities? We've learned nothing from the tragedy of 685 deaths in aged care.
Oh dear. This seems t be the start?
The Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt had not recieved the required training either....... he was calling for herdimmunity and wanted us to use a dud CovidSafe app. Fire the minister.
Is this a Medical doctor or a Jill Biden type of doctor? Coz medical professionals wouldn’t need additional training to does and administer vaccines.
And who is the Minister responsible?
Then, why to blame the doctor only? This is a failure of a process where many people are involved. Although difficult to assimilate, perhaps the doctor is one of the least responsible.
And let's guess, that anyone else's fault except Hunt, Morrison's and or anyone in the LNP.
Federal aged care is a ghetto of cost cutting misery.
The minister for announcements didn’t make sure all doctors had training How incompetent GregHuntMP
How dare you, Hunt? How bloody dare you, you scoundrels.
