Dan Andrews unveils plan to help get children vaccinated against COVID-19
The Victorian government has announced it will establish 30 “pop up” clinics at schools to help vaccinate children against COVID-19.
The Premier announced the news at his first press conference for the year on Tuesday.
Daniel Andrews also said $4 million would be made available to help get GPs and community pharmacists into schools to vaccinate school kids.
Meanwhile, he conceded Victoria’s health care system was under pressure but made the point some 4500 health care workers and paramedics were unable to work on Monday due to the fact they either had COVID-19, or were isolating as a close contact.
“They are self-reporting numbers, I expect that number is in fact higher and that does put great pressure on our system,” Mr Andrews said.
“It’s not a matter of money, or machines.”
