Banned GP given green light to administer COVID-19 vax
A GP banned for “gross overprescribing” of dangerous drugs has been given the green light to administer COVID-19 vaccinations and swab patients with symptoms of the virus because of his practice’s dire need for staff.
Allowing the Sydney-based doctor to provide coronavirus inoculations, pre-vaccination counselling and test patients who have symptoms was in the “strong public interest”, the NSW Supreme Court said in a decision handed down this week.
