00:00With regards to shortage of the flu vaccine, we've had to turn away a lot of customers who have been ringing around multiple pharmacies and saying we can't get the flu vaccine anywhere. We are not doing walk-in appointments. We've prioritised those that have booked because we had a limited supply. We've had a few more come in today so we're prioritising those who have booked and then we should be getting over 100 or so more coming Monday, Tuesday.
00:26But this week it's really hit our maximum capacity just because we haven't been able to get it from our main wholesalers so we are waiting on the shipment from our vaccine supplier to supply that.
