First world problem

R u f**king serious!!!

What an incredible waste!

To be fair, it’s in Victoria 🤔

strandedaussies such a waste.

AZ or nothing

Why does the govt insist on using these useless agencies that are in it for the money and don’t give a hoot about doing the right thing? Aged care homes have competent RN’s who could administer and store vaccines correctly - they don’t need idiots coming in to do the job 😡

Please get your reporters to have a chat with the PM or will you blame Victoria?

Dear oh dear. You do know the globes population don’t you? Now do Cancer.

Terrible disorganisation. Must be leftards doing this.

Johnson and Johnson covid vaccine is a single dose vaccine with 68 efficacy and after 30days 100% effective. Also effective against South african strain. Does not require extreme storage like Pfizer. Also cheaper than pfizer. ...just saying

wrong link in Tweet...

Was it because some private contractor blessed with the job handed the batch to underpaid & overworked minimal care staff as they flew past?

Who put them in the fridge. If the personnel of the company to inject the vaccine they must loose the contract. I don't care if they are LNP donor.

You forgot to mention that it was a federally regulated nursing home that happens to be in Melbourne.

Tax payer's dollar down the drain

When this happened in the US they asked people on the street. They said yes. Nobody thinks on their feet anymore. And with this useless government someone has to have a contingency plan. Everyday.

And everyone keeps telling us to TRUST the government. Couldnt organise their way out of a wet paper bag.

FFS!

Do they not read storage requirements?

Wait for MurdochGutterMedia to try & blame Dan 😖

Why does it seem the media especially ABC absolutely love vaccine mishaps? Like they want vaccine roll outs to fail?

This is an extremely precious commodity. Waste of money, waste of opportunity to save lives. This is disgraceful. How is it that vaccines are not portioned carefully, each accounted for and stored appropriately? At 6 doses per vial that's 720 people who could have been vaccinated

You expect excellence out of the PS and then give the jobs to your mates that can do it better and “cheaper” or so you think/want to k ow. Then you wipe your hands of any mistakes.

Charge the nursing home for it. That’ll stop the mishandling quick smart!

Ffs

Liberal government. Say no more

Federal government rolling out vaccines with the same competence they rolled out the NBN I see

I had to do the same with lasagna leftovers today. It's rather embarrassing

Hmmm needs special handling in a delivery truck at what -80 celsius ?......and then the people at the nursing home stick them in the fridge with the cucumber sandwiches ? 😱 .......oh what a mess.

Far out, if even I know it needs to be stored at -18 degrees and that's just from news reports.... this is not good enough.

Ummm ok so why is this breaking news? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

What a load. There are instances in the US that at the end of the day there r vax left overs. Which ppl receive. Absolutely pathetic. Get the frickin vaccine done. Do our tax dollars pay for common sense? FFS!

That’s 60 people... that’s not news.... that’s ABC bias, again

This is what happens when you outsource your responsibilities.

What did Dan Andrews do this time!

I'm so friggin sick of this dumb country.

Trumps fault

AstraZ is not a good alternative. It offers little protection from the virus.

When is China going to be held accountable by the UN for crimes against humanity? Or is it because the Obama admin & Gates funded the Wuhan lab where 'gain of function' experiments were being conducted? Why is no-one asking them questions?

When you outsource a company from your liberal mates to do a job, expecting a commission of course, and they subcontract cheap, untrained, unqualified workers to save costs this is what happens. The neoliberal way.

Could see that coming!!

The next mistake to come is with the second vaccination. I bet there are vaccinations where a different vaccine to the first is given.

Ok not great but let’s have a bit of perspective here, 120 doses out of millions to come.

strandedaussies And GregHuntMP will say ' these things happen its a minor hiccup ' ..

The Federal Government is incompetent One job vaccination of the Australian public Can’t even get that right rachelbaxendale do your job and get some answers

Roll out going well, can this government oversee anything without it being a complete balls up!

You earthlings are so stupid

This is why AZ is an excellent alternative.

Now that will probably save more lives than jabbing it.
