Dear Patients,

We are delighted that so many people want to get vaccinated. The rollout of Pfizer into General Practice is happening slowly and as Government supply increases.

The Victorian Department of Health has reviewed the timing of the second AstraZeneca dose.
You will now be able to get your second AstraZeneca dose at Victorian vaccination centres or GP clinics six weeks after your first dose.
