eight months.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Throughout 2021, large vaccination centres have been opened at Doomben Racecourse, Brighton Health

Director Mary Wheeldon said between March and August a further 150,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine\u00a0were\u00a0delivered through these centres.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\"At STARS alone close to 75,000 vaccines\u00a0where\u00a0delivered by the end of August, with around 30,000 at Doomben and Kippa Ring,\" she said.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\"In total we are seeing 10,000 vaccines being delivered every week, with this\u00a0number increasing significantly as\u00a0more sites\u00a0like Boondall Entertainment\u00a0Centre Mass\u00a0Vaccination Clinic and the\u00a0Pfizer\u00a0vaccine became available.\"<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Community and Oral Health vaccination team consists of nurses, administration officers and pharmacists who work as a collaborative team to provide a vaccination service that is safe, effective and optimises the use of the available vaccine.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\"By delivering vaccination clinics at multiple sites across Metro North we are able to optimise community access\u00a0and deliver vaccines closer to people's

data-contrast=\"auto\">Mary\u00a0said many staff who work in the clinics do not usually work in a direct clinical role but have completed their COVID vaccination training and become part of our
