COVID-19 Vaccination Rollout

The Hon. C. BONAROS (14:55): Supplementary: can the minister advise whether consideration has been given to pharmacies administering the COVID-19 vaccine, as is the case in Queensland, either under the national vaccine road map or by the state government to assist with the rollout?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:56): The national cabinet a couple of weeks ago indicated that it was a matter for states and territories in terms of the engagement of pharmacists, and it is certainly an option that is open to the state and, as we move forward, we will look at that and other options.
