Glynis Schultz, Executive Director
Ekka Flu Vaccination Clinic staff
With the Ekka over for another year, I wanted to highlight the Flu Vaccination Clinic at the show.
This came together with staff working across logistics, planning and equipment, vaccination supplies, concierge staff and IT support.
Under the leadership of A/Director of Nursing Michelle Kane, the clinic delivered 1,747 vaccinations to a very grateful public.
While the team averaged around 200 vaccinations per day over the nine days of the Ekka, People’s Day on Wednesday was extremely busy for our vaccinators with 346 Ekkagoers taking advantage of the free flu vaccinations on offer.
A special shout out to the pharmacy team at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital who worked with the Princess Alexandra Hospital to source extra vaccinations when we were extremely busy, and Althea Elliot, Clinical Assets Advisor who kept the team topped up with clinical supplies each day.
To all of the staff who undertook shifts at the clinic – thank you!
