Dr Ken McCroary, SSWGP Link Chair, was interviewed on ABC Radio, The World Today with Sally Sara. He raised the enormous pressure in rolling out the booster program in the setting of a skeletal workforce but peaking demands.

We’ve got our booster program probably to its limits till the end of February at the moment. We get changes on an almost daily basis, which is driving the planners both medically, and senior reception, quite to the stage of despair.
