Earlier this week, Member for Eden-Monaro Kristy McBain expressed "shock and concern" frontline health staff would have to travel to Canberra in order to get the vaccination jab - for some a round trip of 6-7 hours.

However, on Thursday it was revealed that even Canberra is not an option, with Southern NSW Local Health District staff being told the clinic they need to attend is in Liverpool, Sydney.

In a letter distributed to hospital and health workers along with Ms McBain and shared with the Bega District News, SNSWLHD staff will reportedly be vaccinated in two groups during "Phase 1a".

While Queanbeyan and Yass priority staff will attend an ACT Health clinic at Garran, all other Southern 1a staff will attend a NSW Health clinic at Liverpool.

For health workers in Bega, that entails a 10 to 11-hour round trip - funnily enough through Canberra - not including the 35-minute appointment that reportedly awaits them.

Among Ms McBain's concerns was that these lengthy trips took vital health practitioners away from their home duties, placing additional pressure on regional services.

A spokesman for Ms McBain said they understood vaccines for the region's vulnerable elderly and nursing home residents will be transported to the Bega Valley so travel would not be required.

They said Ms McBain was scheduled to meet with federal Health Minister Greg Hunt later Thursday afternoon.

"I am shocked and concerned to learn that there is no designated COVID-19 vaccination hub in Eden-Monaro for the first phase of the national vaccine rollout," the federal Labor MP said on Tuesday.

"It's very reassuring to know that the COVID-19 vaccine has finally arrived in Australia, but regional communities shouldn't be disadvantaged.
