The Priceline Pharmacy network will roll out Covid-19 vaccinations across the country under the Federal Government’s plan to involve community pharmacies in the nationwide effort towards immunisation.
Andrew Vidler, general manager of Priceline Pharmacy, said the brand will participate in the program.
“Priceline Pharmacy has a proud history of providing vaccinations to millions of Australian over the years. In 2020, Priceline vaccinated more than 350,000 people against the flu alone. In 2021, we will comprehensively participate in the Covid-19 vaccination program and are confident of managing this task professionally and efficiently,” he said.
“At Priceline Pharmacy, we are committed to helping the Government protect the health of all Australians,” he added.
There are more than 470 Priceline health and beauty stores and Priceline Pharmacy outlets across the country.
