Supporting the Response to COVID-19 Playing a key role in the South Australian response
Adelaide PHN continues to play a key role in the South Australian response to COVID-19, including supporting the coordination of the vaccine roll-out. As SA borders open, Adelaide PHN will support primary health care to operate in the context of community transmission and care for COVID positive patients.
Super Walk-in Weekend We supported three Commonwealth Vaccination Clinics (CVCs) and one general practice to participate in SA Health’s Super Weekend on Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 October. Participating clinics opened their doors for the community to walk-in and get their COVID-19 vaccination without an appointment. We complemented SA Health’s widespread promotion of the event in the media, by promoting our participating clinics via radio, social media, and our website. We supported our participating clinics with on-site coffee carts to provide walk-in patients with a free coffee Saturday morning. Clinics reported that the coffee carts were very popular and enjoyed by the community as they waited for their vaccine. Reynella Respiratory and Vaccine Clinic and Northern Vaccination Clinic collectively administered 370 vaccines over the super weekend.
