It’s craft time.

As a practice, we are working on how to immunise our patients & deciding if we can build extra capacity. We will need to work longer to do this without neglecting our usual care. My elderly patients are wanting reassurance that I will personally immunise them. Yes is my answer.

We are stronger together

The TGA has announced provisional approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine. Supplies can now be shipped to Australia and the TGA will perform batch testing before release. tga.gov.au/covid-19-vacci…

NEW—A single dose of Oxford-AstraZeneca #COVID19 vaccine provided strong protection in trials after the first 22 days: 76% efficacy (days 22-90). Also, when 2nd shot were delayed by >3 months: ~82% efficacy for symptomatic disease. But poor efficacy for asymptomatic disease. 🧵

I did a straw poll in an Aged Care Dr forum on who has received or booked in for their 1a vaccinations. Turns not that many (41/149 or 27.5% of respondents). Of the 131 GPs only 20.6% were vaccinated or booked in. We have a LONG way to go. @GregHuntMP RACGP Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) President

BREAKING - VIC’s answer to a vaccination ad - 👇👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Please RT and spread on social media 🙏🙏 A little bit emotional now ♥️ actually in tears of joy and proudness 🥲😉

I’m joining the live entertainment industry today to say get vaccinated, so we can get back to gigs. #VaxTheNation

Some of the best TV I have seen in a while The Project - full credit for producers letting the cameras roll when the hunter became the hunted.

Say I have equity & shares in a govt funded ($30M) project to transform the #mentalhealth system through innovative tech; I should advocate for the reduction of subsidised MH consults under Medicare's Better Access, & comment on GP billing practices, right?! Asking for a nation.

Well said

I don't get it. Policy decisions around Medicare reform seem to go like this. 1.Govt effectively reduces the Medicare rebate over decades, assuming that GPs are too compassionate to charge patients who can't pay. Most GPs pay the gap between the cost & rebate themselves
