More than 1,200 patients at a general practice in Sydney’s inner west – including hundreds of children receiving their first vaccinations under the age of five – have been warned any vaccines they received over a four-and-a-half-year period may have been less effective due to a storage error.
The Holy Family Medical Centre in Dulwich Hill is notifying patients and parents of those who received a vaccine between 4 December 2019 and 30 July 2024 that their protection could have been compromised as the vaccines were incorrectly stored at the practice.
