Cumberland Mayor challenges Premier over AstraZeneca allocation

Cumberland City Council Mayor Steve Christou has claimed his LGA is running low on supply of the AstraZeneca vaccine, despite the state supposedly having an excess.

The mayor told Jim Wilson he’s aiming for his community to be the first in NSW to reach the 80 per cent target, but there’s a roadblock in the way of his ‘Arms out in August’ campaign.

“We’re asking for more AstraZeneca; we want any vaccine the state government can give us.

“Yesterday, at one of our vaccination clinics … they had to run and get supplies from another centre because they only brought down 100 vaccinations.”
