Home / News / Media Releases / 100% Double Vaccination Rate

Congratulations and thank you to our Staff at Epping Surgery Centre on their 100% Double Vaccination status in accordance with NSW governement requirements for health care workers.

Epping Surgery Centre continues to prioritise the safety of its Patients and Staff by implementing these Covid-19 response measures:

• No visitors on site – Carers collecting patients upon discharge are to continue to wait for them at the screening point unless otherwise arranged. Children may be accompanied by one carer.
• Offering Rapid and PCR testing at MDS for staff.
• Managing Admissions with appropriate infection control and public health measures to minimise the risk to health care workers and the community.
• Staff Education Program includes competencies of Personal Protective Equipment and protocols for theatre management, including patient and staff risk assessment and social distancing.

All Visitors and Staff must undergo a brief health screening, including temperature screening and QR Code check-in before entering the Hospital and will not be able to visit if they:

• Are unwell with any cold or flu like symptoms.
• Have a temperature ≥ 37.5°C.
• Have been identified as a close personal contact with a confirmed case.
• Have been in close contact with a suspected case.

To safeguard our patients, staff and doctors, to enter the hospital, you must practise the following precautions:

• You must wear a face mask.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water or hand sanitiser.
• Avoid contact with others (including touching, kissing and hugging).
• You should aim to remain 1.5 metres apart at all times.
• Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or use your elbow.

We thank you for your patience and understanding.

A collaborative approach in the workplace that includes discussing, planning and facilitating COVID-19 vaccinations is an important part of Australia’s vaccine rollout, because having a vaccine is one of the best ways to protect ourselves and our community against COVID-19. ESC is proud that all of its staff and doctors will be vaccinated against COVID-19 in accordance with NSW government requirements for health care workers.
