Three mass vaccination hubs will be opened today in Victoria with the hope they will speed up the COVID-19 inoculation program.

They will be located at Melbourne’s Convention and Exhibition Centre, the Royal Exhibition Centre and Geelong’s former Ford factory. Bookings are recommended but not essential to receive the vaccine at one of the hubs. Today also marks the end of Victoria’s temporary two week pause on the AstraZeneca vaccine for anyone under 50 over blood clotting concerns.

People in that age group will now be able to receive that vaccine if they fill out a form and give consent. Victoria’s Chief Health Officer Professor Brett Sutton will receive his vaccine today, taking to Twitter to share his excitement and reaffirm confidence in the AstraZeneca jab. “The risk of really serious adverse events is rare, which is why I’m getting my vaccination. The best vaccine to get is the one available right now,” he wrote.

Victoria to open mass vaccine hubs on Wednesday | Sky News AustraliaVictoria will open mass vaccination hubs on Wednesday in an effort to speed up the inoculation process.\n\nThose eligible under stage 1A and 1B will be able to receive the vaccine at the Melbourne convention and exhibition centre and Jeelong’s former Ford factory.\n\nThe state has also lifted a decision to pause the vaccine rollout to patients under the age of 50 after consent issues were resolved.\n\nPrime Minister Scott Morrison has said GPs will remain the preferred way to deliver jabs until doses arrive in greater quantities at the end of the year.\n News just in ... Why the UK hospital system struggled to cope with a novel respiratory disease. They have one third fewer hospital beds than 30 years ago ... to serve a rapidly aging population. Who knew! The states again are forced to cover for Morrison's incompetence. Inoculation implies immunity. Or at least the inability to transmit. This vaccine provides neither. The vaccine is not a vaccine at all in the true nature of 'vaccine'. It's a permission shot. A social passport with the potential to render more illness than prevent. Nothing more.
