COVID-19 Vaccination Rollout

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:48): Supplementary: how many of the vaccination opportunities that the minister has referred to are available on Kangaroo Island as of today?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:49): I do have some information on that. In relation to Kangaroo Island, I think it's really important to appreciate the fantastic effort of the Kangaroo Island community in the context of COVID-19. In partnership with the RFDS, there was a vaccination program on the island. It completed its second round quite recently. Currently the GPs on the island are not involved in the program and that is their choice.

So the local health network is working with both the GPs and the pharmacies to see what opportunities there are for vaccinations on the island. Of course, the community on the island is completely able to also get vaccinated as they make what are often regular trips onto the mainland, whether that's in metropolitan Adelaide or on the south coast.
