The rollout of Covid vaccinations has been described as absolutely disgraceful and on Saturday afternoon, it got worse.

We were assured by NSW Health and the State Government that existing bookings would not be affected, but by Saturday 5,500 appointments at the Belmont hub had been cancelled and the vaccines sent to Sydney.

Some of these cancellations were frontline workers, aged care workers, some have cancer and are immune-compromised. State MP for Lake Macquarie Greg Piper called the Health Minister on Saturday and says he is still waiting for a return phone call. He joined Tracy Mac in Newcastle In The Morning to discuss it.
