RACGP blasts ‘constantly changing’ vaccine rollout
The college took aim at the Federal Government’s funding for GPs to administer COVID-19 vaccinations
The Federal Government’s messaging around the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine left a vacuum for anti-vaxxers to peddle misinformation, the RACGP is claiming.
The college’s concerns have been raised in its submission to the Australian National Audit Office, which is investigating the effectiveness of the national COVID-19 vaccine rollout.
One of the biggest issues was communication with doctors following ATAGI’s repeated changes to the age criteria for the AstraZeneca vaccine.
Speaking on Wednesday, president Dr Karen Price said it included a failure to keep GPs in the loop.
