Pharmacists already trained to administer flu shots will be engaged to deliver the vaccines, with the logistics of the rollout still to be communicated.
Barooga Pharmacy manager Emad Sargious said he filled out an application to deliver the vaccines on July 29.
“I believe pharmacies are able to give vaccines as they have enough talent and information on how to deliver it in a safe way,” he said.
“It's going to big help to have it available in pharmacies, it will fasten the rate of delivery and people won't have to wait too long for bookings.”
Pharmacists will be required to complete an online training course which focuses on how to store the COVID-19 vaccines and the side effects.
Mr Sargious hoped all three vaccines - Astra Zeneca, Pfizer and Moderna - would be available to allow all age groups to access the vaccines.He said the booking system for the vaccines would depend on availability.
