It was great to be vaccinating at Port Phillip Specialist School again last week. Drs Floyd and Nathalie Gomes from Atticus Health were joined by Alan Ottrey from the Alfred Disability Team. There was even a surprise visit from The Hon. Martin Foley, Victoria’s Health Minister. Sadly, there was no Dratticus appearance this time but that’s ok.
Recently, Atticus Health was successful in being chosen as a provider for the Primary Care Vaccinations in Schools Grants Program. This program is a key part of the Victorian Government’s plan to deliver more doses for children aged 5-11 who may otherwise struggle to access COVID-19 vaccinations. We first visited back in February, to administer the Paediatric Pfizer to students of the school. Dratticus, our very own superhero, even dropped in for a short while.
Being vaccinated protects children and reduces illness within families, schools and in the community. We thank the school community at Port Phillip Specialist School for their support, as well as Alan and the Alfred Health Disability Team for helping make this clinic a success.
