They should really make it free for everyone if they want increased uptake. It's not exactly expensive, but any price at all is going to disincentivise people.
Everyone I know wants to get vaccinated, has been vaccinated.
There is a lot of disinformation about COVID and Flu vaccines at the moment and it is surprising how many people are in denial.
But then I look at Seppo-land and the LNP and think “not that surprising after all”.
I've had to go three times to my GP to get it for me and my kids. I'm still unvaccinated and they are vaccinated. Supply issues, fridge breakdown, poor communication. It should be easier.
You don't need to go to your GP.
All the big chemist chains, in NSW at least, do it, and you can book online.
The day I decided to get it, I was online at 11am, and booked for 2pm that same day at a local chemist.
Yes, kids need to go to GP and I was getting done at the same time. That's why they are now vaccinated and not me as it will be easier for me to get it going forwards.
