A PFIZER supply boost in the ACT has meant that more than 30,000 additional appointments have been added over the next six weeks at the AIS Arena Mass Vaccination Clinic.

The extra bookings have been made available in the MyDHR booking system.

ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr said people with existing bookings would now be able to get vaccinated faster.

“The next eight weeks is a race to get as many Canberrans vaccinated as possible,” he said.

“The additional supply of Pfizer in both ACT government clinics and across the primary health network will help us achieve our goal of getting more than 85 per cent of the ACT population over the age of 12 vaccinated.

“Overall these new appointments are anticipated to speed up our program by about two weeks.”

Health Minister Rachel Stephen-Smith said participating GPs and pharmacies in the ACT were also expected to receive increased Pfizer supply.

“People can use the Commonwealth’s eligibility checker to find participating GPs and pharmacies in the ACT,” Minister Stephen-Smith said.

Appointments can be booked online or by calling 5124 7700 between 7am and 7pm daily.
