How you could get your Covid jab in the office by September

Australians working for big companies may be able to get a Covid-19 vaccine at work after September.

Treasurer Josh Frydenberg is meeting business leaders at 10am to discuss how they can help boost the nation's sluggish rollout with only nine per cent of adults double jabbed.

Several corporations such as Commonwealth Bank already offer employees the flu vaccine at work and are keen to offer Covid jabs once more supply enters Australia.

Mr Frydenberg told ABC radio: 'Because these businesses have experience in delivering the flu vaccination, these businesses have real resources at their disposal, be it premises, logistics, community engagement strategies, the broader communication strategy. 

'They will be really willing and able partners for the Federal Government, as they have been from day one of this pandemic.'

On Tuesday, Lieutenant General John Frewen, head of the Covid-19 taskforce, said workplaces could offer jabs from September. 

'Around September and October, when we have greater access to the vaccine that's when workplace vaccination can open up,' he told reporters.

'It takes burden off both the primary healthcare system and some of the state mechanisms.

'Many of these industries already do anti-flu vaccinations.'   

Meanwhile, Australians under 40 are expected to be offered Pfizer vaccines from September when more supply arrives from overseas.

Mr Frewen said young people will be able to chose which jab they get later this year.

Currently, Aussies under 40 can only get the abundant AstraZeneca vaccine via their GPs because the government is prioritising scare Pfizer jabs for people aged 40 to 60.
