The practice has been holding almost daily and Saturday afternoon clinics to vaccinate business staff and the community after administering their first 120 Astra Zeneca vaccines on March 24.
Kade Rousell was the lucky attendee to receive not only the 10,000th vaccination on Saturday, October 9, but also a number of gift vouchers to local businesses.
Practice manager Deidre McInherney-Nash said 395 people attended on Saturday contributing to one of the highest daily vaccination community percentages in NSW.
"It has been and continues to be an honour helping our community to be better equipped for this pandemic and all its variances," she said.
"What was even more special about Mr Rousell's winning dose is that we have vaccinated three generations of his family including grandparents, parents and his brother.
"There are many similar stories like Kade's family where we have vaccinated many multi-generational family members aged 12 to 102.
"We are still holding daily vaccination clinics and will continue to hold Saturday clinics while the demand is there. We want to get to as close to 100 per cent double dosed as possible."
