Vaccination centres across Blacktown City FTER what could only be described as a slow start to the COVID vaccination program, Blacktown City is leading the pack with about 95% of the population over 16 having had their first dose. The obstacles put before Blacktown residents to get vaccinated included no mass vaccination hub, residents having long travel and waiting times to Homebush centre and walk in vaccination hub. Stephen Bali, MP for Blacktown was in constant contact with the Premier’s office, Health Minister and Western Sydney Local Health District to get more mobile vaccination hubs into Blacktown City. Mr Bali said: “The case was clear, people wanted to get vaccinated, but the obstacles were too great. Blacktown City has over 7% of greater Sydney region population but at the time we only 5% of the vaccination locations. Over 40% of Blacktown residents do not have access to the internet and up to 140,000 residents had either no access to a car or one car only and people were being

forced to use public transport for up to 3 hours to access the Homebush vaccination centre. “We are one of the most multicultural population and have the highest population
of Aboriginal heritage community which meant it was hard to get the right information out.” The vulnerable communities ought to have been the first priority.
"The Western Sydney Local Health District CEO hasn't stepped up in terms of delivering for the people of Blacktown." Local organisations were given limited opportunity to access the vulnerable communities to ensure people had access to a Pfizer vaccine, Mr Baili said. PCYC, St. Clement’s Anglican Church, St Patricks Catholic Church and Ahmadiyya Muslim Mosque all had some sessions of providing Pfizer vaccines under strict restrictions and with limited doses. Mr Bali said despite the barriers the people of Blacktown City have responded to the challenge. “As restrictions are lifted, we have to be mindful that we are not immune to the virus but with the vaccination we have a good fighting chance to avoid the worst of it.” The local General Practice and Pharmacy networks have delivered approximately two-thirds of all vaccines in NSW. Anyone over the age of 12 now has a choice of vaccine as restrictions no longer apply.
