Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Influenza Vaccinations Influenza Vaccinations The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN Legislative Council Influenza Vaccinations The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:32): Given the minister just said that he will have to take on notice when doctors and nurses at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital will be given access to the flu vaccine, can he tell the chamber why flu vaccinations were provided to head office bureaucrats in the health department last Wednesday, but front-line staff at major hospitals have had to wait at least until today, and in fact he can't even say when The Queen Elizabeth Hospital will be supplied with vaccine? The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council Minister for Health and Wellbeing Influenza Vaccinations The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:33): I would simply make the point to the chamber that our hospitals started immunising their workers in early April so, considering that they were not scheduled to be rolled out until a month later, on average, I think the fact that a number of networks have already started vaccination of healthcare workers is to be commended rather than condemned.
