  • COVID-19 Vaccinations in Gayndah Monday, May 10 – Wednesday, May 12
    COVID-19 vaccinations in Gayndah Monday, May 10 – Wednesday, May 12 What’s happening? Wide Bay Hospital and Health Service (WBHHS) is offering COVID-19 vaccinations to members of the Gayndah community through a three-day outreach clinic from May 10-12. WBHHS is supporting the Queensland and Australian governments in rolling out the COVID-19 vaccine in planned stages. We are one of a number of vaccine providers, alongside General Practitioners across the Wide Bay Burnett region. Currently there are no medical practices in Gayndah able to provide the vaccine, although this may change in future. However, WBHHS is working closely with local practices in an effort to vaccinate Gayndah residents who would like to be protected against COVID-19, and whose nearest available practices offering the vaccine would otherwise be in Mundubbera or Biggenden. WBHHS medical specialists continue to recommend that all people be assessed for COVID-19 vaccination. Our outreach clinic will offer the AstraZeneca vaccine, which is preferred for people aged 50 and older. Those under 50 may still choose to have the vaccine, but should discuss the risks and benefits to them personally with the clinic medical officer to decide if it’s right for them. If you have general questions about the COVID-19 vaccine, including safety information and a comprehensive set of Frequently Asked Questions, visit the Queensland Government COVID-19 vaccine web page at www.qld.gov.au/covid19vaccine. How do I book an appointment? Making a vaccination appointment is as simple as calling our Wide Bay booking hotline on 4303 8700 from 8am – 4.30pm, Monday to Friday – or leave a message outside those hours and one of our team members will call you back.

  • Anglo Saxons Can't Communicate
    Anglo Saxons Can't communicate I, THE AUTHOR, AT LEFT, AGED NINE, WAS DETERMINED TO BREAK THE LACK-OF-TALKING-CYCLE FROM ONE OF THE MOST REMOTE AND (NON TALKING) PARTS OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE. MY BROTHER PAUL IS ALSO PICTURED. It seems that many of us Anglo Saxons are happy to die with all our jobs up to date, but in no way knowing very much of our genes or family tree. A huge body of knowledge and experience will therefore never be shared around for notionally English people. Many will say: “who cares.” In Australia, high suicide rates of Anglo Saxon youths accompany this lack of extended family. I further have discovered that Anglo Saxon commication skills are about equivalent to those of furry penguins. Can anything be done to remedy this? Read on, or just buy the book when it comes out. Preface (an appeal to all non-English folk who like talking) Can you please assist us stiff-upper-lip folk to discover and value our extended families. While you are at it, we need your help to see a meal as more than an impediment to our busy programs, and to string a meal out for several hours, during which time we need to stop thinking about protocol and building monuments and find out what is in the hearts of our friends and family. We need to learn to talk for pleasure and stop banging on about procedural matters and infrastructure creation. While you ethnic minorities are at it, can you please help us find our talking gene so that improved relationships might discourage some of our youth suicides and prevent some of us from getting plonked into aged care facilities when we become an impediment in the infrastructure we helped to create.
