MASS VACCINATION HUB AT BELMONT TO OPEN JULY 19
As I mentioned in my previous post, the mass vaccination hub at Belmont will open on July 19. Yay!
New appointments at the centre will be taken from Monday July 12, and you'll be able to do that here.
People who already have vaccination appointments at John Hunter Hospital on or after July 19 will have their appointment moved to the Belmont hub. Hunter-New England Health is in the process of notifying all those people now.
The hub will have the capacity to provide 20,000 vaccinations a week which is tremendous for our area. Almost 100 nurses and 25 pharmacists/pharmacy technicians will be employed there, with a further 200 support staff.
At this stage, the hub will only be able to deliver Pfizer vaccines to those eligible, but has the capacity to deliver AstraZeneca shots down the track.
The hub is located in the old Bunnings Warehouse at 393 Pacific Highway, Belmont.
