A SECOND bus has been added to GV Health and Dyson Group’s fleet of COVID-19 vaccination buses.
‘Maxine Vaccine’ joins Jabba the Bus in providing vaccinations to eligible populations as close to home as possible.
The unveiling comes as Jabba reached the milestone for 1,500 people jabbed onboard since being launched in September.
While being virtually identical to Jabba the Bus, including disability-friendly access and three spacious pods for administrating vaccines, Maxine will only accept walk-ins.
Following a schedule available online, Maxine Vaccine will travel through local government areas to make access to vaccines as easy as riding a bus.
Dyson Group’s Greg Fitzsimmons said that now the 95 percent vaccination rate has been achieved, the next goal was to reach communities proving more difficult to reach.
Dr Helen Robert, who has been a medical lead for vaccinations at GV Health, said that working adults, and in particular males are less likely to be vaccinated.
“We’d like male populations to come and visit Maxine,” she said, promoting availability as the key selling point at the heart of this incentive.
All people aged 12 years and over are eligible for COVID-19 vaccination. If you have not been vaccinated yet, look out for Maxine Vaccine coming to a town near you.
