GPs have been forced to call police to help them deal with “unruly” patients who have come into surgeries demanding the Pfizer vaccine, says Dr Ken McCroary who works in one of Sydney’s hotspots.

Dr McCroary, whose Campbelltown practice is located the city’s south-west, says he’s concerned at the growing number of practices reporting abusive, angry patients wanting Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.
