They are coming by plane from Sydney.thermal shippersThere will be four trays of vaccine all sorted in their own thermal shippers.

Three trays being transported to the Royal Adelaide Hospital and one tray will go to Flinders Medical Centre.When the transport vehicle arrives at the hospital, they'll be greeted by hospital representatives, including vaccination supervisors and staff from pharmacy and security. They will then escort the vaccines to the room where they will be placed in the specialist Ultra-Low Temperature Freezers that were installed at each hospital earlier this week.

Due to the presence of dry ice in the cooler boxes, the two person team will wear protective PPE to remove the tray of vials.The box will be opened and the temperature tracker will be checked and removed, with the vials then cross-checked and details recorded. The main freezer door will be opened with a key and the airlock door then opened so that the tray of doses can be placed in the freezer.

Someine tell the PM the vaccine doesnt take effect until one week after the 2nd shot. Too early to get touchy feely. Should set an example. If hes wearing a mask, surely its because theres a threat, not just a photo prop?

And as if by magic, the name Brittany Higgins disappeared from the news...

Please check the techniques of the vaccine givers. You don't need to use 2 hands or push the needle up to the hilt. Needles have been know to snap off. And why put the ne dle in with one hand them change hands on it ? I sayore room for error and injury.

Why did Scomo have to have a doctor to gone him his vaccine. Wasn't a nurse good enough ?

Of course bringing forward the vaccine roll out 24 hours would have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with distracting the media from the Brittany Hughes story would it? 🤔

What is the reason ScoMo has already been vaccinated? Why is he privileged?

Morrison pushes to the front of the line to get the Pfizer vaccine. Predictable and despicable.

👎PM is having a Pfizer shot today, we're told to show it's safe. He doesn't qualify by age etc. I say someone more in need should have it. If I wasn't allergic to penicillin I'd quite like it myself thanks! Gov has read some of us wrongly. We're not stupid.

Everyone that wants this rushed and untested poison, should please get it immediately. Please also include your immediate family in the process. Some DNA just 'needs to go back'.

Good news and a relief to hear it's actually begun now, after so much preparation. I'll be getting it as soon as it's my turn. IAmHereAustralia

Did someone say 'publicity stunt'

Great to see the rollout starting here with quarantine and border workers, frontline healthcare workers and aged care residents and staff. I look forward to good news about more shipments IAmHereAustralia

Don’t bother get enough for all of us.

Why is the PM being vaccinated? How does he qualify to be in the 1st group? He's not a front-line worker. Despicable, selfish behaviour. Peter_Fitz

Greg Hunt: That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.

Hey look over there!

Mass roll out! There is only 1 palette of vaccine, no more has arrived in Australia. needs to actually become journalist and stop using government talking points as facts ThisisNotJournalism

The little Hunt just stated on InsidersABC that the Dept would not advertise vaccine rollout on Facebook.

Good...pollies and ABC journos first please to get the experimental mRNA biological genetic matter... labrats auspol outsiders

Mass? Did we get more shipments or is this spin for Scotty on a bad day.
