There still has to be a better way. Other countries with much higher demand seem to be churning through it bucket loads easier than us.

For sure. Is it a lack of doses, a lack of people qualified to administer them, or bureaucratic incompetence?
It's probably Daniel Andrews' fault. Scomo doesn't hold a needle, mate.
Reckon we’re over complicating it based on what I’ve seen/read in other countries.
Its this in my experience, with a large slathering of the perverse individualism we still call American.
It isnt surprising. We've been on this trajectory for a while now.
A kind of societal complacence from being overfed, resulting in a huge bureaucratic sheltered workshop that places little premium on merit, and an acute lack of creative agility.
when China pulls the trigger. We're *smile*.
Agree. Why can't we have nurses in pop-ups at shopping centres or local sports clubs or rec halls? Bring your Medicare card, bada bing bada bap bada boop.
It has to be either a shortage of doses, people to give them, or...?
this.
The other day, I google mapped 'nearest tyre fitting place near me'
I drove in unannounced, and got 4 tyres fitted in the time it took to have a cup off coffee and read the back few pages of the paper.
I'm actually pretty astonished The Feds didnt privatise vaccination.
someone like Costigan would have got out of Murray River trading and into vaccination overnight,
and done the job a quarter as efficiently at 10 times the cost.
and Murdoch would have ran a headline 'Brave Wharfie saves us again'

The Victorian Treasurer has rightly absolutely teed off on the Feds. All talk, no substance. What an absolute disgrace.
Probably would have had to beat Lindsay Fox to the front of the queue. .... then again Lindsay has the inside running with both sides of politics. ..!
(I've always wondered what being philanthropic really means?!
)Exactly. In fact, last night I was watching ABC 7 News from New York City and one segment was on pop up centres (2) that they’d opened in a bayside area of NYC where they’d identified low uptake. They reckoned they’d do tens of thousands over the next week in that small local area and then move on to somewhere else. And they have dozens and dozens of these pop ups operating and with minimal wait times. Americans and UK also use pharmacies as outlets.
Heard the bloke from Chemist Warehouse on radio Friday say they'd done all the specific training and are ready to go as are thousands of other pharmacies I believe he said. ... but, still we wait!
Ah I’ll get it all up and flying anyway when I release my “Get It Inya Straya” campaign next week. Calling in the big guns. Shoot to thrill....
Good one Red. Also 'You shoot me all night long', 'Shot in the dark', 'Let there be vax'.
And it's great the public is waking up to the fact that the sooner we all (or most) have the jab, the sooner normal life can resume. It's not hard to understand really.
I don't think they are trying hard to get lots of people to vaccine centres because it would expose the fact they don't have the supply. Why make is easy to get Pfizer if you are under 50 when they simply don't have the supply to vaccinate the under 50s?
