  • I have opened the app and can't work out where to add this (let alone have any idea how it's actually confirmed) as I did not receive any form of confirmation after getting my second Pfizer dose.

    • It takes about 4 hours for you to get confirmation from aus gov for the second dose I’ve noticed. If you check Medicare, you can see your digital certificate. But it can take up to 5 days, did for my friend.

      • Ah of course, that makes sense - I don't think I have the Medicare service linked to mygov. Cheers!

      Mods would, but it requires 3 exclamation points.

    • Huh? TGA rules are already clear right?

      You cannot advertise a prescription-only jab (whether it's paid; free; whatever - flu shot; tetanus shot - whatever) per TGA rules. Eg free flu jab @ XYZ pharmacy/medical center. Offering people who have undergone a medical procedure however (whether it is liposuction or getting vaccinated) is not against any TGA terms.

      The grey area? Offering free alcohol for people who have undergone a medical procedure - it's the free and beer part that was the gotcha in Victoria for example. Another one - offering free tobacco (its just against the law) - eg those buy a pack of smokes; get a free cover to hide the warnings fell foul of that.

    Here comes the “I’m anti vax but I’m going to disguise that as being a freedom of choice thing” crowd.

    Hint: none of these programs (including that wacky guy last time offering his newsletter subscription to vaccinated people) are forcing you to get vaccinated. If you don’t want it, don’t take it. If you feel so inclined to “boycott” or want to “ban” people for offering incentives for vaccination, maybe you should re-examine your own position.

      • +3

        Actually I’m not aware of any mandatory requirements for vaccination as of now. Not even in the hospital systems where I work. Ie NSW health workers are not even forced to vaccinate. It’s strongly encouraged, sure.

        Can you clarify what you mean by “can’t get medical assistance, can’t work, etc”? Is someone stopping you from doing those things just because you’re not vaccinated?

            • @SBOB: This is a typical example of how incomplete, inaccurate, or out of date information is circulated as fact by some people who want to find evidence against vaccination.

              • @Yola: It's a typical example of people that post anti covid/anti vax info that they have spent literally 0 seconds putting any critical thinking, or primary school level Google search skills, into seeing if it might actually be true.

              @SBOB: OK so you've link a 'fact checker' article that 'says' he got the injections, but you can't prove that he did one way or the other. Yes the article claiming he didn't get it was from last year and is now out of date.

                @EightImmortals:

                doesnt that work for both sides?
                at least I referenced an article which confirms that they DID get the article, and from a referenced and at least somewhat reputable source.
                Feel free to post a similar contrasting article detailing the alternative before you could dispute the statement

                Otherwise..

                these are all just as legitimate in your mind as the original comment that the "ceo of Pfizer is not even taking it."

                • @SBOB: No you are right, neither of us can 'prove' it one way or the other.

                  On the other hand the colour of the sky, shape of the Earth (a bit harder these days. :( ) and the nature of mice is something we CAN verify for ourselves.

                  • @EightImmortals: Well, if we're holding 'proof' to such a high standard, I guess there goes every single piece of information anyone knows as 'facts' which they cant actually inspect, verify and scientifically document for themselves.

                    How isolated is your subset of 'facts' with such a limited scope.

                    Literally arguing for anti-vax stupidity for the sake of it :/

                    • @SBOB: Depends on how important any particular issue is to you I guess. And yes there is LOT of faith required to believe things everywhere these days.

          • @asrey1975: Where do you get this rubbish. Of course he did.

      • +13

        Meanwhile, once things start to open up, the rest of us won't be able to get into hospitals if we get injured or cancer or something else non-covid related because the hospitals will be full of sick covid infected people that refused the covid vaccine.
        I can see why you want your freedom, because it will be at the expense of the 80% who are doing the right thing.

          This is so true. It’s inevitable. There are going to need to be dedicated COVID hospitals with seperate ICUs, but as far as I know this isn’t on the cards/being planned for. The length of stay for COVID patients in ICU is long as well.

  • +8

    dont see why we need incentives - just have a range of vaccines for ppl to chose AVAILABLE when they want it, if they want it
    open things up and leave the decision up to them, this crap about keeping us lockdown till we get to 70,80% is annoying

    • +7

      If $10 worth of health fund points makes you go from anti vax to pro Vax….were you even anti vax in the first place :)

      These incentives are just relatively worthless 'thanks' from companies so they can get some social media points. Doesn't hurt anyone except those massively offended by the ideas of getting the vaccine, and it isn't going to incentivise anyone to actually get the vaccine that wasn't anyway.

      • +11

        This isn't social media points for them. They have a vested financial interest in having their patients vaccinated. If the vaccines reduce complications; hospital stays etc; there is every reason financially for them to throw rewards at you to vaccinate.

        Society wears the hospitalization costs of anyone who enters as a public patient and doesn't provide their private coverage details; but many (like myself) will whack stays on my insurer; the hospitals are underfunded as it is - I'll add my insurers details when asked if I have one in a public hospital.

        Financially it makes sense for them to incentive their patients to get vaccinated; as demonstrated in the US and the cost modelling of insurance companies over there (more heavily weighted in the US as they all basically need private health cover or pocket the bills themselves).

            @Seraph2052:

            "If"

            didnt seem ambiguous or requiring air quotes to me

            "I'll add my insurers details when asked if I have one in a public hospital."

            are you assuming he doesn't have insurers details?
            Because thats about the only sentence in that post using 'if' that has any kind of arguable points
            :)

        • I'm wondering if having people vaccinated really does make financial sense for them. We saw during last year's lockdown that private health insurance claims shrank rapidly, partly because elective surgery was cut back or cancelled. In that case, they might be better off if the lockdowns go longer.
          Ultimately, it doesn't really matter if they think that $10 will change anyone's mind or if its a manipulative marketing ploy. If they're handing out $10 to people that are customers with them anyway, I'll be making sure that I get my share, regardless of their motivation.

    • I do not want to be any part of this vaccine lab rat.

    • +1

      Not ‘needed’ but a good gesture. I think these incentives are prosocial and help to foster a positive culture and dialogue around vaccination. By offering an incentive the business is publicly showing it supports vaccination. The more brands do this, the more it becomes the dominant voice and may help to build confidence in vaccines in the community.

      Of course vaccine availability would also be super helpful.

    • Agree.

      At present i cant get, and choose what vaccine to get. Whats the point keep urging people to get vaccination?????

    • +1

      I think the problem is that the vaccine does not work. If they did then that's exactly what would happen, people who want it get it.

    To the anti-vaxxers upset by this deal, just wait ‘til they raise your premiums. If you think private insurers are going to subsidise your medically expensive decision to not get vaccinated, then… lol.

    • +2

      Or just do what they are doing in the US, offering wellness incentives to people who quit smoking; lose weight and are no longer classified as obese or have a covid vaccination. Raise everyone's premium and offer incentives to be "well".

      Different to raising premiums for vaccinated but the same.
