The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart—Minister for Energy and Mining): The Minister for Health and Wellbeing has been advised:

For the first four weeks of the program in 2018 and 2019, SA Health distributed 25,203 influenza vaccine doses for SA Health care workers (HCW) in 2018, compared with 30,670 in 2019. This was also in the context of three public holidays (Good Friday, Easter Monday and ANZAC Day) during this period in 2019.

Note: The 'Total NIP' figure relates to NIP stock distributed for health care workers over 65 years of age and so eligible for the commonwealth funded vaccine specifically for ≥ 65 year olds.
