Clinical and support services all joined together to set up the Vaccination Clinic at Kippa Ring, Doomben Racecourse, Brighton Health Campus and STARS. Great work!<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Metro North residents are being vaccinated in record numbers thanks to the opening of several new community vaccination clinics.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Community and Oral Health Acting Executive Director Glynis Schultz said the community response to the opening of the sites at Doomben Racecourse, Brighton Health Campus, Kippa Ring and the Surgical, Treatment and Rehabilitation Service (STARS) had been significant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe number of community members booking online and coming forward to get vaccinated at these four Metro North Health sites is in excess of 1,600 vaccinations each day,\u201d Mrs Schultz said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClose to 2,000 community members passed through the doors of our community vaccination clinics on one day alone in late June.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the STARS vaccination clinic we have reached a major milestone with 50,000 vaccinations now administered by late June.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As part of Metro North Health\u2019s response to COVID-19, the Community and Oral Health Directorate has safely set up four clinics across Metro North in a very short timeframe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a two to three week period we opened our Super Saturday Vaccination Clinic at Brighton and the Community Vaccination Clinics at Doomben Racecourse and Kippa Ring,\u201d Mrs Schultz said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis activity has significantly increased the demand on our directorate, and I remain so grateful to our staff for all of their efforts making this possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Community and Oral Health staff are delivering testing, hotel quarantine, bedded services, oral health care and broader rehabilitation and complex chronic disease care across the community and in homes.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs Schultz said thank you to everyone who had worked tirelessly behind the scenes to plan and set up these vaccination clinics, and all the clinical staff and support staff who will run them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want acknowledge Michelle Kane, Zuby Daryu, Kevin Rogers, Mary Wheeldon, Adriane McShane and our Administration Team and all of our clinicians for establishing these clinics so seamlessly and supporting the assessment clinic and hotel quarantine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During June we have also seen a massive increase in the number of tests being delivered at the Pine Rivers Community Assessment Clinic.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to all the staff across Metro North and our private testing partners who have stepped in to help during this challenging time.<\/p>\n<h4>What people are saying about our vaccination clinics<\/h4>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI booked in and went for my first Pfizer vaccine at the Doomben racecourse over the weekend. Wow, it was so super organised and it was a super pleasant experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI could not fault the service and everyone involved were caring and lovely. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel all the staff today worked extremely hard. A very busy place and should be recognised as a huge asset to Metro North Health and Queensland Health. Well done!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt every point, there was someone to advise or give instructions or information. Everyone was friendly and efficient. Thanks to everyone at the Kippa Ring site.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnne Strahan my nurse was absolutely fabulous. Did not feel a thing. Anne-Maree one of the attendants was so lovely and caring. And, the administration ladies were efficient and helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Metro North residents are being vaccinated in record numbers thanks to the opening of several new community vaccination clinics.<\/p>\n<p>Community and Oral Health Acting Executive Director Glynis Schultz said the community response to the opening of the sites at Doomben Racecourse, Brighton Health Campus, Kippa Ring and the Surgical, Treatment and Rehabilitation Service (STARS) had been significant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":53,"featured_media":1748,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_searchwp_excluded":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[174],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8664","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-coh-express"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Record highs for community vaccination clinics - Staff Extranet<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Record highs for community vaccination clinics - Staff Extranet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Metro North residents are being vaccinated in record numbers thanks to the opening of several new community vaccination clinics.
