Push to get tram back on track Amy Hume A fundraiser has launched to get one of Lauriston’s most unique stays back on track after it was destroyed in the severe June storms. The refurbished 1920s W-Class tram was a popular bed and breakfast before a tree crashed through its roof on June 9. The tram was just a shell with broken windows when Angela Henley purchased the Camp Kulning property in 2014. Continued page 5.
Vaccine confidence booster the state went into lockdown, medical staff said. "Today we're doing 120 and they're nearly all first doses," Mr Nally said. The Castlemaine Health COVID-19 clinics began mid-April and, as of Friday, had administered 2350 vaccinations - about 988 of them Pfizer jabs and the rest AstraZeneca, nurse unit manager Shelley Leathem said. And the great majority of those have gone into the arms of people residing in Mount Alexander Shire.
"We're just seeing the numbers of expressions of interest from people wanting to be vaccinated increasing each day," Ms Leathem said. Beyond the hospital clinic's closely monitored doors, Castlemaine's three GP clinics are also providing COVID-19 vaccinations. Dr Ronnie Moule of the Mostyn Street Clinic said they were currently only able to provide AstraZeneca with all three local clinics now waiting to receive supplies of the Pfizer vaccine as well.

As demand to get the jab at Castlemaine Health's coronavirus vaccination clinics has continued to grow in recent days, so too has confidence in vaccine supply say frontline health professionals administering the local rollout. While it's been hard to miss the national criticism around the federal government's role in facilitating adequate supply of - particularly the Pfizer - vaccine, Castlemaine Health's director of nursing clinical care
Mark Nally said their own surety of supply was looking up. "In the last two weeks there's now been a consistency in our Pfizer supplies that wasn't there two weeks ago," said Mr Nally, speaking at the clinic that's administering both Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccinations to those eligible under the government criteria. On Friday when the Express attended, the stream of locals arriving to roll up their sleeves and get vaccinated was strong and steady - and had only been increasing since
