Mr Newman has been pleased by the response of people looking to get vaccinated

"In the first day we had 38 injections and the following day it was a similar type number," Mr Newman said.

"Our communities have been responsive to us. The Pfizer has been received really well."

Mr Newman received his second dose of Astrazeneca three weeks ago and is encouraging others to follow suit.

"It's more than just ourselves we have to be worried about. We've seen with the current outbreak in the city, people have to make a decision," he said.

"We're hear to help people that aren't really sure about it who may have underlying conditions. I'm encouraging people to do the right thing for themselves, their family members and their communities.

"We don't want to be like suburbs in Sydney with complete lockdown. The social and mental wellbeing of our people is critical in this time. If one person can make a change in a family then hopefully it will influence others as well.

"As a healthcare provider, as an individual my responsibility is to my family and to my community so I made the decision to get two vaccinations and I'm quite happy with that."

OAMS is only providing vaccinations to its clients so that they have their patient history.

"We've been very well supported. Whenever we've ordered vaccines we've received them in a timely return."
