A private vaccination clinic in Slacks Creek is due to open its doors later this month, to help with the rollout of the Covid 19 inoculation program.
Professor Evan Jones, who oversees the clinic, says the facility is still waiting for the Federal Government to provide a starting date, but he says the centre is prepared to deliver a large number of vaccinations in the community.
“We are currently hiring and training large numbers of reception staff, doctors and nursing staff to be able to deliver the large numbers of vaccinations in the community.”
Professor Jones said the injections would be the AstraZeneca.
The Astra Zeneca vaccination requires two doses four to 12 weeks apart and is for those aged over 18.
The Slacks Creek facility at 22 Duke Street will supply the AstraZeneca vaccine.
