I was trying to arrange my vaccinations. However, I cannot stand the horrific objects that are used to deliver them.
I have been corresponding with WA Health since October, but so far have not made much progress.
I asked about options, but I felt none were provided, merely (to summarise) the assertion that "we have great staff", which is frankly not enough.
After further correspondence, they finally conceded that there is one clinic is WA (located at SCGH) that can help, but that I need a referral.
It took weeks of doctor shopping until I found a GP that was willing to provide a referral, but I finally got one in December.
However, now I am in limbo, as there is no way of tracking the progress of the referral. I asked the GP who submitted the referral, as well as WA Health, but neither have responded.
I feel as though no-one is taking me seriously and nor do they understand how distressing this issue is. I feel many of my questions have either been only partially answered or even ignored completely.
Exacerbating this are the new restrictions that the WA government are regularly imposing on the unvaccinated, along with the government and media commentary about the unvaccinated being reprehensible scum of the earth who are expendable.
How do I track the progress of the referral?
