South Australian health authorities say they are stunned a person booked a COVID-19 vaccination appointment 40 times, blocking dozens of other people from receiving a dose.
Key points:
People are urged to cancel vaccine appointments to "avoid wastage"
Health official concerned people aged over 60 are choosing not to have their second AstraZeneca dose
Vaccine supplies on the Limestone Coast are expected to increase in coming weeks
It comes as regional health officials renew calls for people to turn up to vaccine appointments following a string of people not attending their allocated booking time.
Limestone Coast Local Health Network (LCLHN) executive director of medical services Elaine Pretorius said they were now investigating avenues to prevent people from booking multiple times.
