Question Without Notice No. 480 asked in the Legislative Council on 11 August 2021 by Hon Wilson Tucker

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

CORONAVIRUS — VACCINATIONS — AVAILABILITY

480. Hon WILSON TUCKER to the minister representing the Minister for Health:

I refer to the state government's COVID-19 vaccination program.

(1) What is the current stock level of Pfizer first dose vaccinations for each health region?

(2) What is the current stock level of AstraZeneca first dose vaccinations for each health region?

(3) What is the rationale for the distribution of Pfizer stock across the state?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. The following answer is provided on behalf of the Minister for Health.

(1)–(3) The commonwealth government allocates and distributes vaccines to the states and to primary care providers, and the planning parameters for the allocation have not been shared with the state. The vaccine stocks provided to WA Health are managed centrally and provided to regional areas as required. As at 10 August 2021, the Pfizer stock on hand for WA Health was 100 794 doses and the AstraZeneca stock on hand for WA Health was 51 913 doses.
