Yes you do still need to make a booking here but for many clinics, you can make that booking online for an appointment the same day. So whilst you can't just "walk in" and get the jab, you can still get it same-day for AstraZeneca. So really, NSW Health is offering same-day Prime delivery of AstraZeneca jabs whilst you have to wait weeks with second class international mail to get your Pfizer dose.
My brother and SIL in SA have not seen their son, DIL and three grandchildren for almost three years as they live in remote WA. Then Covid. They were due to fly to Broome to see them this week. I’ve stayed away from them as husband returned from Sydney but the week before.
No desire to get into an off topic argument but never having been here, why lay into a town you have no idea about?That's it, New South Wales needs shut down our border with Queensland, the risk of disease transmission is far too high, to say nothing of another OzFest being held in Brisbane (the only thing worse would be holding it in Canberra, a city whose main attraction is a large administrative building).
Joking aside, why on earth are they revealing the identity of this case. I can understand wanting to identify the case location and date but doesn't revealing such information run afoul of privacy laws?
I mean from a risk standpoint they're about the same. Both sets of travellers are coming from areas where there is widespread community transmission of COVID.
Meanwhile, for AstraZeneca it's a whole other story. If you're willing to get the jab, you can walk up today and get one. I'm still dismayed that the government has done everything in its power to downplay the importance of AstraZeneca, to the point of saying only the elderly who should be put on an ice floe and sent to Antarctica should get it.
You're absolutely right, having never been to Canberra (and hopefully never having to go there), I can certainly understand the appeal of wanting to get away from the dull dreary landscape that is the greater Canberra area and visit more hospitable climes like Sydney or Melbourne. Heck, I suppose many Canberrans would even stoop to visiting Perth for a week. Anything to avoid having to stare at Parliament House for a week will do!
Respectfully disagree with your assessment. Canberra tourism has taken a beating since Parliament House was there, arguably the only attraction most Australians can think of when having to name something...anything in Canberra! Canberra the only city that makes Perth look good

Technically they don't have cases of Corona, since that would imply their figures would be in multiples of 24! From what I'm reading they just have a single Corona. As a Sydneysider who is living through literal cases of Corona right now, let's hope it stays that way!

ATAGI did state that their advice re AZ may change. I presumed at the time that this kind of situation may be a reason. Just get vaccinated with whatever you can as soon as you can.
It absolutely is if you are outside the current supply-restricted criteria to receive a Pfizer dose. Again, in the context of widespread community transmission. We are not zero COVID any more.
So- under 40s? It's unrestricted for 40 and up.
