Medical professional recommend Anti virus of other groups with severe diseases and hospitalization risk from Kobid and over 70 people who are covid.
But many of the older Australians missed the antivirus after being sick. It is another way that the health system is not the most vulnerable.
Who missed it?
we analyze Absorption of Covid antivirus between March 2022 and September 2023. We have found that some groups are more likely to miss the antiviral castles, including indigenous people, people of poor areas, and people in cultural and linguistically, including people, including people, including people.
Some of the differences have different infection rates. But for this 18 months, many elderly people were infected at least once, and in some disadvantaged communities, the rate of infection was high.
How clear is the difference?
Compared to the national average, Australian Aboriginal people were almost 25% less likely to get antiviral castles, while elderly people living in disadvantaged areas reduced the script by 13%.
People in secluded areas were 37% less likely to get antiviruses than those in major cities. There were 25% less people from outside.

Even in the same city, the difference is huge. In Sydney, people over 70 years old in abundant eastern suburbs (including vaucluse, point piper and bondi) were unlikely to have antiviral castles in Sydney’s southwest Fairfield.
The elderly in the Melbourne (including Canterbury, Hawthorns and Q) were 1.8 times more likely to have antiviralism in the Breambank (including sunlight) in the west of the city.

Why are people missing?
The covid antivirus should be taken when the symptoms first appear. The perception of the covid antivirus is generally strong, but people often I can’t realize it They will benefit from the drug. them wait Until the symptoms worsen and too late.
Frequent GP visits make a big difference. According to our analysis, people over 70 years old that GP often see were much more likely to be distributed into the Covid antivirus.
Regular visits provide opportunities for preventive treatment and patient education. For example, GPS can provide a “Covid treatment plan” for high -risk patients.
If you have difficulty seeing GP, it can help you explain that the use of antiviruses is low in rural areas. Compared to people in major cities, small rural villages are about 35%. less It is more likely to see GPS and GP half and 30% more. report I have been waiting for the appointment too long.
great vaccinationFocusing on the antivirus of the GP is probably as important as providing treatments that can be accessed by people with other cultural backgrounds.
Those who need it must be careful
Evidence has emerged since we saw it. doubt Especially how effective the antivirus is for those who have a low risk of serious diseases. In other words, receiving vaccinations is more important than getting an antiviral.
But all Australians who are qualified for virus virus virus should be more likely to get them.
The drug was over $ 1.7 billion, and the majority of the money came from the federal government. Dispence rate has fallen, but more than that 30,000 The COVID antivirus pack costs about $ 35 million in August.
Such enormous investments should not be left behind. Treatment should not depend on income, cultural backgrounds or residential areas. Instead, you should pay attention to the most needed people.

There were people born abroad 40% more likely To die with Kobe than those born here. The indigenous Australian did 60% more likely To die with Kobe than those who are not indigenous people. And the most unfavorable people did 2.8 It is more likely to die in Covid than the richest region.
All groups in danger were more likely to miss the viral vaccine.
It’s not a matter of virus virus. The same group has also been unbalanced in Covid. vaccinationComplex the dangers of serious diseases. Patterns are repeated for other important preventive health care. cancer screening.
3rd stage plan to meet the needs of the patient
The federal government must do three things to bridge this gap in preventive treatment.
First, the government should be responsible for reducing the PHN (Primary Health Networks). PHNS, a local agency in charge of improving the primary care, should try to share data with GPS and strengthen the absorption of missing communities.
Second, the government must expand Mymedicare Reform. Mymedicare provides flexible funds for general practices that care for patients who live in nursing or visiting hospitals. That approach must be done pervasive To all patients, more funds for poor and sick patients. As a result, the GP clinic will give the patient a time to advise the prevention health, including the Covid vaccine and the antivirus before it hurts.
Third, you need to introduce a team -based pharmacist prescription. The pharmacist then can quickly distribute the patient’s antivirus if he has a prior consent with the patient’s GP. It is also effective for drugs of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease.
Unlike the vaccine, the COVID antivirus is holding a new transformation without updates. If a new and harmful deformation appears or a new infectious disease occurs, the government must prepare these systems so that everyone who needs treatment can quickly get.
In the meantime, a fair approach to nursing will help to close the big and persistent things. gap Health between other groups in Australia.
