NSW’s vaccination hubs can administer at least 100,000 more booster jabs a week than they are currently achieving with health officials warning that valuable staff are being left idle with the program running at half-capacity.published data showing fewer than a third of eligible adults had received their booster shot in parts of south-west Sydney, with the city’s western suburbs falling well behind parts of the north and east.
In some areas hard hit by the Omicron surge, outreach vaccination clinics have been ramped with at least ten sites mobilised across Western Sydney to deliver booster jabs to vulnerable groups. NSW Health Deputy Secretary Susan Pearce said the state’s 40 vaccination clinics could administer more than 250,000 vaccination a week, at least 100,000 more than it is currently delivering.At Royal North Shore Hospital on Thursday all seven COVID-19 patients in intensive care had not received a third dose.
“We know that to prevent severe disease associated with COVID, that booster is absolutely critical,” she said.Since the start of the Omicron outbreak, Mr Perrottet has repeatedly referred to this variant of COVID-19 as “milder” than its predecessor, Delta, using the reduced severity of illness caused by infection to justify not moving to harsher pandemic restrictions.
Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant said anyone who was over the age of 65 or had a chronic underlying health condition should make urgent plans to receive a booster shot if they had not already, as well as people who come into contact with these groups.
lucy_carroll marywardy Could it be the idiot politicians running around saying “Omicron is mild” now have the problem that our younger population aren’t worried about boosters “just let it rip and after few days your ok and have immunity”
lucy_carroll marywardy I had my booster and a week later I still have a tender lump under my armpit, snotty nose and reduced lung capacity. I can't workout because I get tired just walking around the house. WTF?
lucy_carroll marywardy Your Boosters Booster needs a Booster 😈
lucy_carroll marywardy Funny that when you’re told to get the 2 I can understand why tho why would you line up for a third when the first 2 didn’t work. You only need to follow Israel and their mass failure most jabbed country heights infection rate time to walk away from mandates and boosters
lucy_carroll marywardy Because there is a silent resistance going on, the establishment have NO idea what struggle ST thinking , ordinary Aussies are becoming YES unfortunately anti vaxers , hear this ofton in my travels around in clubs , etc where struggle st exists
lucy_carroll marywardy Obviously especially when they don’t work and they actually make you unwell. We don’t need spike proteins as our immune systems are strong enough to protect us
lucy_carroll marywardy Need to be in who's opinion?
lucy_carroll marywardy
lucy_carroll marywardy domicron can't have it both ways. Having prematurely relaxed restrictions thanking and arguing Omicron is not so severe, what motivation is now in the population to get a booster? BradHazzard
lucy_carroll marywardy Re-direct them to the 12+ group so they can be boosted
lucy_carroll marywardy Because if I take my booster now it will be 3 jabs in 5 months and that is just fking ridiculous. Not only that some clown keeps talking about a 4th jab. I’ll stay home and watch this sh*t show play out. No skin off my nose.
lucy_carroll marywardy Once again, not easy making a booking for the booster.
lucy_carroll marywardy Because everyone has Covid already
lucy_carroll marywardy Simply as we aren’t being blackmailed to take it …. Majority of ppl wouldn’t have got the previous ones if weren’t blackmailed to got it
lucy_carroll marywardy Well the ridiculous Dom_Perrottet govt didn’t bother to take the jab to the people ..set up drive thru vaccination hubs . A complete failure to plan ChrisMinnsMP
lucy_carroll marywardy Boosters at 3 months after 2nd vaxx only comes into effect beg Feb for people who want access via GP or Pharmacist and criteria was longer when protection measures dropped when vaccines in short supply. Now there’s an excess ?!
lucy_carroll marywardy I was booked in to get my booster this week, but I became a close contact. After 2 negative PCR tests and 4 negative rat tests I am still locked up in my house. I’m self employed and have lost a weeks wage all because i “may” have a virus that I’m double vax for!
lucy_carroll marywardy Perhaps all the people who have tested positive can't get a booster for a while.... That would take quite a few people out
lucy_carroll marywardy Too much emphasis on the booster but vaccines should be supplemented by infectious disease controls. Let it rip is ripping apart the health of Australians
lucy_carroll marywardy From what I’m seeing from the younger people in in society is that they aren’t boosting because they are just catching COVID, thanks for the let the let it rip policy
lucy_carroll marywardy That's what happens when promises are broken. People are sick and tired of Government's involvement in their lives and constant moving of the Goalposts. Time to end all the mandates,QR Codes and Mask wearing.2 years gone that we will never get back. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! AusPol2022
lucy_carroll marywardy 😂
lucy_carroll marywardy We had the Rona visit our house, 5/5 teenage kids got it. We isolated during this time and wore KN95s. 2 got it initially and over the next 6 days 2 on day 2 and 1 more on day 6. Only boss and myself (touch wood) didn’t get it. Both boosted- Ms19 was boosted but not 2 weeks.
lucy_carroll marywardy letitRipDom Unfit for leadership
lucy_carroll marywardy Well duh the whole of nsw is infected! You can’t get a booster for 4 weeks
lucy_carroll marywardy The people of Australia lost confidence in the prime minister and his president rupertmurdoch
lucy_carroll marywardy So why aren’t they being used. Most people in my little town in NSW have had the booster but then, no one has died here.
lucy_carroll marywardy I really can’t understand why anyone who is eligible wouldn’t be getting the booster.
