Turf war: Pharmacists will deliver COVID-19 vaccine despite GP concerns
Pharmacists will be able to administer COVID-19 vaccinations when the wider immunisation program begins in mid-2021, but doctor groups believe pharmacies should be excluded because they're retailers who also sell products. Associate Professor Chris Freeman, chief executive of Pharmaceutical Society of Australia, said it makes sense to include pharmacists as they were "one of the more accessible healthcare professions across the country".

"Pharmacists have got the skills, capability and competency," he said. The Therapeutic Goods Administration expects at least one vaccine will be approved by January ahead of an initial roll-out in March to three priority groups including healthcare workers and the elderly.

Guided by Australia's COVID-19 vaccination policy, pharmacists will be part of the vaccination program for the broader population later in the year, a Department of Health spokesman said.
