Chillipeppers Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Bronze! can someone please tell me is Homebush the only location administering the Pfizer vaccine? It seems to be the only one on the website with Pfizer in brackets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadwasathome Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 DP had her Pfizer at RPAH last Thursday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderstruck Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Pretty sure other places are doing it too. The eligibility checker will give you the locations suitable for your age and recommended vaccine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley225 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 No, there's various chest clinics and hospitals. It's annoying that when you look there's a number which don't even tell you where they are as they all have the same name but are all over Sydney. I presume that when you put your details in it only shows you the vaccine for your age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillipeppers Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Oh I didn’t consider that I put my age in. I’m going to ring around tomorrow and see what the earliest appointment is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeritasVinumArte Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Reporting in for day 1 Post #2 Pfizer. So had 2nd shot 1.45pm Sunday. Was OK Sunday (maybe slight headache before bed). Awoke Monday morning feeling woolly headed, went to the bathroom and had troubles staying upright so worked out no driving to work or doing work I was so woolly headed. Stayed in bed and rested/slept until about 4.30pm. Still not feeling great, but by 8.30pm head is much clearer. Just a slight headache. Arm a little sore. DH has fared better with just a minor headache. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamferalz Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Vaccines to be made mandatory for aged care workers. And the government will indemnify GPs who administer the AZ to under 60s who request it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps young people at the back of the queue who have already been asking for the AZ knowing the risks. The main hesitaters are middle aged women. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will depend on just how well the GP handles it, hopefully if it is their regular GP there will be a bit of a trusting relationship. Young people wanting AZ are probably going to be better researched if they are considering it so hopefully it will be quite an easy sell. I saw an interview with a GP this morning who said he has a line up of people wanting it after being fully informed but he just needed to know that if in the rare event there was an issue he could not be sued. I really hope it works. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope it works. I hope it works too but I’m thinking more from a public policy perspective- if an indemnity is required then you have a recognition of risk, and obviously one they think GPS will be nervous about. And if you have nervous GPs then the public might not be keen. Maybe I’m just over lawyering it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the indemnity is about encouraging those who are hesitant. It’s about protecting the GP’s who might otherwise be at risk because they are giving a medication against the official guidelines ie. under age of 60yrs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree- I’m saying I think it will actively put people off, discourage them. I hope not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone knows there is a risk, there is good information available on exactly how big that risk is. The younger people who will be seeking out an Astra Zeneca vaccination are likely to be well aware of the exact risk level. I think it's a sensible move to encourage GPs to feel OK about giving it to people who ask for it. Some will no doubt take it up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MintyBiscuit Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I’d have AZ tomorrow if my GP said he was ok with it. I assume eligibility criteria hasn’t changed though at this stage and it’s still 40+ along with 1a and 1b (os that how far along we are?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeritasVinumArte Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 @MintyBiscuitI think that is the point now anyone over 18 can request AZ at their Dr. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosie28 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I’ll likely take it up if it’s an option. Last time I chatted to my doctor about it he wasn’t overly keen, but I’ll have another chat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
