NSW to establish Homebush ‘mass vaccination hub’ to assist Commonwealth rollout

about 3 years in news

The NSW government will establish a “mass vaccination hub” at Homebush which will work side by side with 100 vaccination sites to deliver 60,000 vaccinations once the state has fulfilled its current requirements.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said her government is already “in the process” of establishing 100 vaccination sites across the state with 80 already “up and running”.

The premier said the Homebush vaccination hub and the 100 sites will work to “support the Commonwealth” once the state has vaccinated the 300,000 people it initially agreed to do.

“We anticipate that, post-the 300,000 that we are responsible for, we will be able to do around 60,000 vaccinations a week”, she said.

“Half will be done at Homebush and the other half across the other 100 sites across the state.

“This is to support the GP network and to support the Commonwealth because given where we are with the vaccine rollout, New South Wales doesn't want to see further delays and that's why we are stepping up to support the Commonwealth.”
