Are we being penalised for doing the right thing?

Forum –

I am deeply distressed that the NSW Government decided to re-allocate the Central Coasts Pfizer injections.

My son aged 40 desperately wants the vaccine.

Unfortunately, he has suffered from blood clots, so his doctor has advised against having AstraZeneka (as) he is at risk.

He has only secured his job at West Connex if he drives and gets tested every weekend.

The Central Coast has been very responsible in wearing masks and (observing) 1.5 metre separation.

It looks like we are being penalised.

Good for students sitting exams; bad for those doing the right thing.

I have supported the NSW Government in all they are doing except for this last decision.

Come on, Lucy Wicks and Adam Crouch, stand up for The Central Coast; after all we are doing well.

  1. If Sydney sneezes we all catch a cold. We need to vaccinate sydney first where they’re more likely to encounter quarantine leaks. We en up protected thT way regardless

  2. Is Moderna also for 70 above?

    Yes my husband son who is 36yrs has type 1 diabetes since he was 2yrs old lives in Nelson Bay n.s.w is not able to receive Pfizer ????

  4. I would like to know when the government is going to open up the pfyzer and moderna vaccines to people over 60 years of age. Many people in this age group are holding off getting vaccinated as they are fearful of the astra zeneca and its possible side effects.

    I live in Syd and like the coast people we are playing by the rules and we too are overlooked for under 40 pfizer shots. We also border those troublesome LGA’s who continue to get preferential treatment from the government with pfizer doses despite a number of their constituents continually doing the wrong thing. This is clearly obvious as cases continually rise daily in those areas. As the Lakemba MP is stating, it is ” a tale of two cities”. Just not the way he thinks!

    The pfizer shots were all allocated back again. It’s been in the news for weeks. Now under 40s can get Pfizer from 30 Aug too.

  7. I have reported a number of times a group of men drinking coffee in a group of 8 to 10 & still doing it ate these people being fined.That is if the police are doing what they are expected to do.

  8. I agree with many on here in relation to those breaking the rules being rewarded by taking Pfeizer from those who can’t have az but somehow don’t fit into the right age bracket even though they are priority. The eligibility form keeps bringing me to a stand still because it doesn’t make it easy to say you are priority & need Pfeizer

    My 17 year old IS about to sit for her HSC and still can’t get vaccinated….we live on the Central Coast so are not part of the Sydney ‘hot zone’.
