Finally managed to get through to the Victoria Covid Vaccine hotline to make a booking. Next available was 23rd July. l'll be back in QLD by then, try my luck up there. What a disaster of a rollout in Victoria. Had a year to prepare for this, and they can't even manage to get this right.

I have said it numerous times, vaccination hubs should be 24/7 till we get through a big chunk of people. Ask for help from the military if need be. I'm currently down in Victoria for work and have given up on trying to get the jab. The website goes in circles and the hotline is useless, plus...

Question If you get the vaccine, 2 doses, do you still have to quarantine if travelling interstate? Yes When do you think the states will change their tune on this?

Lol

Called the COVID line yesterday to make an appointment 62 minute wait to speak to someone LOL

40 year olds in VIC only got the ok this week

Oh, my bad. I must have been thinking about Remdesivir or something like that. Interesting that Victoria has opened up to anyone over the age of 40 for the vaccine (Pfizer/BioNTech) Bookings only Phone lines jammed - swamped. Forget about it. Like l said previously (and was brushed down on...

Why don't they combine the testing & vaccine sites into one? Get tested, get first jab? Melbourne is on the brink of another major lock down - again.

Too slow. 2023. l'm sure that the vaccination hubs speed up the roll out.

Ok, thanks for the super fast replies.

Question - to the people who have received the vaccine, do you receive a receipt or anything to prove you've had it, or does it go onto your mygov/myhealth file? There has been some interesting remarks over the last few days, even a 'vaccine passport'...

Good question. QLD'er down in VIC for work for at least the next month, and if the rollout accelerates l'd happily get the mRNA vaccine if it became available. l'm in the 2b group, so l might be dreaming.

Some great, clear, easy to read info on the QLD Health Website (Covid sub) Vaccination hub locations Every hospital and health service in Queensland will be providing vaccinations as part of Queensland’s rollout. The following vaccination locations are now offering vaccines, by invitation, to...

Germany did 1,168,818 million vaccinated yesterday. In just 2 or 3 days, they will beat our total

Thats great news, but we are still too slow in rolling this vaccine out. Shouldn't we be up to 4 or 5 million vaccinated by now (CSL to produce 1 million units per week back in Feb/March)? At this rate, Australia will be celebrating herd immunity in 2028...

A great New York Times article on production of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine in the USA - web archive article to bypass the paywall How Pfizer Makes Its Covid-19 Vaccine - The New York Times .

I've done hotel quarantine, home quarantine is chalk vs cheese.

Totally agree as l pointed out in one of my first posts in this thread - the government has been flapping around regarding the rollout and need to be called out on it, even though not many people here agreed with my comments. I suggested vaccination hubs, open all hours (dayshift and...
