I actually tried to book myself and wife in on the government website today after reading all the comments on this thread.
we got an automated response saying nothing is available and they will be in contact when something is.....I strongly suspect there is no Pfizer available.
We should of had it available by now for everyone who wants to get it.
The governments had well over a year to secure supplies.
So in short I and my wife will be getting the vaccine, once we can once it's available once we can book in.
Hey Razz, don't wait for a response email from them, try again to book online.
I am fast approaching 60 and whilst I am not an anti vaxer I was in no hurry to get vaccinated, as living in WA we seemed fairly safe and I have no plans for travel outside of WA in the near future, so was just waiting to see how others went.
The day they announced that 50-59's were eligible for Pfizer I decided to try to get it before I hit 60, I tried to book online and got a similar automated response saying nothing is available and that I would be notified when something was.
I found out a workmate had managed to get a booking for early July after I had tried, so I went back online on the Monday (last week) and was able to make a booking for 10th of July.
I was actually at the shopping centre where the vaccination centre was later that day and as I was planning to head North before the 21 day periods between first and second shots was up I decide to just see them and see if it was possible to get in a couple days earlier or have the second shot before the 21 days was up.
Seems I asked the question at just the right time as they said they actually had the shortest waiting period they had had all day so squeezed me in then and there.
No real symptoms however I did struggle on my 12 hour nightshift a couple of days later with a bit of a headache and just super tired, however I had had a big surf session that day and was still getting over the flu from a week or so before so I'm not sure I can put it down to Pfizer.
Second shot booked for a couple of weeks, just days before I (hopefully) head North.
As a side note my (much younger) girlfriend who had been online last week and could have made a booking in July now can't get a booking until September at the earliest.
Seems the older age group must have got priority or at least filled up available spots in the near future.
