Covid Vaccination information and resources for GPs 17 March

Australian Medical Association

A range of information resources are provided here to support GPs as they vaccinate patients and care for COVID-19 patients in the community.

Department of Health resources

The Department of Health has published several collections of resources about COVID-19 vaccination, vaccine rollout, and clinical guidance from the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI). These resources are updated when new information is available, so GPs should ensure they have access to the latest versions.

Updated ATAGI recommendations on the use of a booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine

The latest Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) recommendations on the use of booster doses of COVID-19 vaccine are available here.

Vaccine deliveries in flood affected area

The VOC is working with delivery partners to manage vaccine and consumable deliveries. Sites will be contacted where their deliveries are impacted. Redelivery of vaccines and consumables will be organised when it is safe to do so, and it is suitable for sites.

The Department of Health is working with QLD Health to utilise available stock in nearby sites. QLD Health will be contacting and liaising with sites to discuss arrangements. It is expected that number of effected orders will grow.

VCF Moderna Update

From Monday 7 March, the Vaccine Clinic Finder (VCF) will display two vaccine types for sites administering Moderna nationally. These are Moderna (for people aged 6-11) and Moderna (for people aged 12+).

If you do not wish to administer to the 6-11 age group, please let VCF Connect know and your service will be removed.
