Family doctors start administering COVID-19 vaccine

Family doctors start administering COVID-19 vaccine
Apr 27 2021 Share

After a total of 106 General Practitioners applied, Malta has officially granted the permission for family doctors to start administering the COVID-19 vaccine to their patients. Should Malta be able to provide the GPS 100 doses each, this could shoot the vaccine rollout to an extra 10,000 doses every single day. Malta has both vaccinated 50% of its adult population and has over 100,000 people vaccinated with the second dose.

The vaccine rollout continues effectively with 318,706 vaccines administered in Malta. The input of GPs could boost this programme immensely and even though the health authorities are vaccinating people in the over 40 age group, the added input could speed things up indefinitely.
