The

regional areas as required.

how Pfizer vaccines are distributed among health regions?

I thank the honourable
member for some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) The commonwealth government allocates and
distributes vaccines to the states and territories and separately to
primary care providers. The vaccine stocks provided to WA Health are managed
centrally and provided to regional state-run clinics on an as-needs basis. The
current Pfizer stock on hand for WA Health is 96 777 doses.
