Continued Dispensing
Continued Dispensing is the supply of an eligible medicine to a person by an approved pharmacist, where there is an immediate need for the medicine, but where it is not practicable to obtain a valid PBS prescription - like in the event of a disaster. The previous dispensing arrangements and medication list have been superseded by a list of medications agreed on by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee, which is available on the PBS website.
Cold Chain Management
There is an increased risk of cold chain management breaches during flooding and storm events due to power failures. Practices should ensure that their cold chain management procedures are in place. All immunisation providers must have an up-to-date cold chain protocol to support staff in the event of a breach.
