Position Statement on Support for Australia & New Zealand COVID-19 Vaccination Programs

The Royal Australasian College of Medical Administrators supports the implementation of the COVID-19 vaccination program in Australia and New Zealand.

Australia and New Zealand have proud histories of immunisation to protect their citizens.  This has never been more important than now in the fight against COVID-19 to allow our Members and our communities, particularly the vulnerable, to feel safer.

The Therapeutic Goods Administration of Australia and Medsafe in New Zealand undertake rigorous approval processes prior to approving vaccinations for use in Australia and New Zealand.  We support our Medical Leaders in both countries as the sources of authoritative medical advice in regards to vaccination against COVID-19.

We support our Members as they contribute to this important work and encourage our Members and the community to get vaccinated.
