The AMA has criticised a potential expansion of pharmacists’ role in the coronavirus vaccine rollout saying it will not help allay pockets of vaccine hesitancy in Australia.

Vaccine hesitancy had been a significant issue after extremely rare blood clots linked to the AstraZeneca vaccine, said AMA vice president Dr Chris Moy.
