The Bush Chemist Cootamundra is proud to announce it has been selected as a community pharmacy authorised to deliver COVID-19 vaccinations to the community.
Pharmacist in Charge, Rebecca Bragg, said this was an important step in ensuring communities in the Cootamundra region were protected during the pandemic.
“This is great news for our patients and indeed for everyone in this region,” Rebecca said.
“This means there is an easy and very accessible way to get vaccinated.
“Our patients know and trust us from our regular flu vaccination program and our COVID-19 service reflects that trust and confidence
“We are very pleased to be included as part of the national vaccination rollout and recognise the importance of getting as many people vaccinated as soon as possible.
“We all want to get our lives back to being as normal as we can and that is only going to be possible if we have the vast majority of the population vaccinated.”
Rebecca said vaccination was important not just for the person receiving the shot.
“Getting vaccinated helps protect you from the virus but it also helps to protect those around you,” Rebecca said.
“Those that you love and care for also benefit from you getting vaccinated.”
Rebecca said those administering the vaccination at The Bush Chemist Cootamundra had undergone the same training as doctors and nurses and so were fully trained for the rollout.
“Patients just need to be aware that with COVID-19 vaccinations we ask that bookings be made which helps to ensure there is no wastage of vaccines and also that the second dose can be followed up.”
