Today, we’re expanding the list of vaccines that can be done by your local pharmacist, like Caleb here from South Hobart pharmacy.

Usually you have to visit a GP to receive a script, visit the pharmacist to collect the vaccine, and return to the clinic to have it administered.

Love your local ❤️

It really can’t be understated how important our local pharmacies are.

It was great to drop in on the team at my local pharmacy in Devonport today to say a big thank you for the incredible work they're doing.
