Mass vaccination hubs are also needed in major regional centres like the Illawarra, says Wollongong MP Paul Scully.

Mr Scully welcomed the opening of a new mass vaccination centre at Sydney's Olympic Park on Monday, which will have the capacity to administer 30,000 doses a week.
"I'm sure Sydney residents will welcome this, but what about the rest of the state?" he asked.
"The government has managed to roll out COVID testing clinics to all parts of the state - they should be doing the same with vaccinations.
"Areas outside metropolitan Sydney - including major regional areas like the Illawarra - all warrant mass vaccination hubs too for the general population.
"If we're going to get on top of this pandemic, we need to vaccinate as much of the population as we can."
Mr Scully said regional and rural areas should not have to "fight and fight and fight" for vital health services.
Last week he raised concerns about the Illawarra's "ailing" health and hospital network in State Parliament.
In a Private Member's Statement, he called on the government for increased funding to tackle surgery and emergency waiting times at Wollongong Hospital.
"At more than four hours, we have the longest emergency department median waiting times in the state," Mr Scully said. "Surgery waiting lists are not much better.
"... At Wollongong the typical patient waited more than 14 months for non-urgent surgery in the last quarter, which was longer than any other hospital of a similar size in NSW. This is simply not acceptable."
Mr Scully also urged the government to replace the ageing Port Kembla hospital with a new facility at Warrawong to relieve pressure on the network.
"The once state-of-the-art facility, now more than 50 years old, is riddled with concrete cancer and its window frames are ajar and skewed - so much so that during rain events I receive messages about leaking windows," he said.
"It is time for a new facility located in Warrawong to serve the communities of Warrawong, Berkeley, Lake Heights, Port Kembla, and Cringila."
Last week Mr Scully also reminded the NSW Government about its 2015 election promise to deliver cardiothoracic services to the region.
However on Monday, the government announced that the region's first specialist Cardiothoracic Surgery Service would open in the second half of the year.
The new, integrated service will be provided at both the public Wollongong Hospital, and at Wollongong Private Hospital, with recruitment commencing shortly.
"This is a long overdue announcement, and while it's good it's finally happening it's another example of even when things are promised for Wollongong, we have to fight and fight and fight for them," Mr Scully said.
"I note the efforts of Fay Campbell and Professor Philip Clingan and community members who have campaigned long and hard for this."
