GP chaos ignored in major report on vaccine rollout failures: RACGP

Doctors learnt of vaccine eligibility changes for their patients by watching TV, says the college president

A major investigation into the COVID-19 vaccine rollout has virtually ignored the chaos faced by GP teams who have administered more than 31 million doses, the RACGP says.

The auditor-general’s report released on Wednesday criticised the rollout for “underestimating” the complexity of delivering the vaccines, particularly in aged care.
