VACCINATE ME! Gen X, Gen Y and Gen Z want the vaccine now.

The issue

Hi I'm Sarah, I'm 36 years old and I got the AstraZeneca vaccine on Thursday. There were no lines at the mass vaccination centre, so I begged for it. I was lucky and got the jab. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/may/23/people-under-50-asking-for-and-getting-astrazeneca-vaccine-as-older-australians-hang-back

There are staff ready and willing to vaccinate. There are vaccines ready to be shot. We understand the need for as many of us to be vaccinated as soon as possible. And some people cannot get the vaccine in their local area due to poor distribution and access, such as residential care homes for disabled people and elderly people.

So if there is spare capacity at the mass vaccination centres then:

Anyone who turns up to get a vaccine, should get the vaccine.


At current pace of 506,000 doses a week, we won't hit the 40 million doses needed for full vaccination Australia’s adult population until:
� early OCTOBER 2022 �

13.6m current phase target
3.6m doses given
We’re TEN MILLION DOSES BEHIND SCHEDULE

This petition is asking the Federal Government, namely the Minister for Health Greg Hunt and Prime Minister Scott Morrison, to make sure the mass vaccination hubs are utilised to their FULL capacity until everyone who wants the vaccine gets it.

The vaccine centres have vaccines, they have nurses: if these resources aren't being used this is a massive waste of money and time to get ahead of the virus.
