It will certainly create headaches for those providing public
information. It is difficult enough explaining the pros and cons of
individual vaccines, without combinations.
While I managed to book a vaccination in Canberra, problems remain with
the Federal and ACT booking systems: .

In response to my suggestions for the ACT Government to improve their
system, I received this Tweet:

This is similar to the indifference to emergency web design government
agencies had more than a decade ago. It took several bush-fire
disasters, coronal inquiries and royal commissions, before improvements
were made. Unfortunately, corporate knowledge appears to have been lost
since then.
A pandemic is a rare event, but with potential for large loss of life.
We can't afford to a learn-from-your-mistakes approach to web design in
a pandemic, as that could many lives.
Australia's vaccination rate is currently far below that needed to have
everyone eligible offered at least one dose buy the end of the year:

There are obvious flaws in the federal and ACT vaccination websites
which, by making it harder to get vaccinated, are placing lives, and the
economy, at risk.
