This series beings on the morning that Victoria comes out of a 5 day "short sharp lockdown". We take stock of it's effectiveness, learn about new COVID-19 variants and transmission dynamics and discuss the new strategy in regards to contact tracing in Victoria. Public health units have become established in Geelong and Ballarat and have been busy planning the vaccine rollout to begin next week as part of Phase 1a of the National Vaccine rollout plan. We've had a few weeks to better understand the new suite of vaccines and to consider our role in this multi-faceted rollout Plan.·This morning we kick off with a case discussion about a theoretical model of vaccine rollout in primary care.
