Firstly I would like to say how much I appreciate the work going into WA Covid vaccination clinics and test centres in the bid to combat this horrid virus.
I have no issue with the staff at that clinic and I think they are all amazing. They are doing the best job possible with the resources they have. Despite this, I would like to express a concern.
My adult child had their first Pfizer vaccine at a Perth metropolitan COVID clinic a few weeks ago in the afternoon. They had an appointment but they had to wait 2 hours prior to their vaccination. I appreciate that we all wait in lines every day in lots of situations. However, I fear that unacceptable long waiting times at vaccination clinics may discourage people to be vaccinated. I feel this in turn may slow vaccination rates in WA adversely, affecting our herd immunity.
I would like to see more venues for vaccination right across WA that are adequately staffed to ensure waiting lines are zeroed or minimal. Perhaps this recommendation could be a KPI.
Together we can make a difference to slow the spread of this virus. I believe we just need better opportunities to get vaccinated! Thank you.
