Bendigo Community Health Services is actively preparing for the roll out of the Coronavirus vaccine.

We are awaiting more details on how the roll out will take place and what role we can play in ensuring Bendigo residents can get access to the vaccine.

Planning is underway on a booking system and staff resources to support the delivery of vaccines when they are available to the general community.

Our Primary Health Director Graem Kelly said a complex array of challenges for both early delivery to priority groups such as the elderly, vulnerable or immune compromised and first line workers in health and other nominated industries was likely.

BCHS is already preparing for workplace vaccinations for COVID-19 as part of our preparations for the flu vaccination program for the upcoming winter.

Please stay tuned for more information on the COVID-19 vaccine and flu shots.
