A regional GP practice offering the Pfizer vaccine says it has been inundated with Sydney patients making a 140km round trip to secure a vaccination. 

Dr Ann Ellacott says that within an hour of going live with online bookings last Tuesday, more than 100 registrations were submitted from people in Sydney – despite the fact that her practice is two hours away in Wollongong.
