The centre's Dr Jessie Hoang said since opening a dedicated vaccination centre in Ulladulla, they have now delivered more than 10,000 COVID vaccinations to the community.
"I'd like to thank all those people for coming in and for their contribution in getting the local community vaccinated and hope people continue to be vigilant in protecting themselves against the virus," Dr Hoang said
She added the centre could also offer more vaccinations.
"We have capacity to do a lot more AstraZeneca vaccinations at the centre," Dr Hoang said.
People can book an appointment or just walk-in for a vaccination from 8:30am to 12pm, Monday to Friday.
"We strongly encourage people 60 and over to get vaccinated and not wait," Dr Hoang stressed.
The centre will also keep its current allocation of the Pfizer vaccination - they won't be redirected to Sydney.
"Pfizer vaccinations remain at 600 per week at the centre and these doses will not be redirected elsewhere," she said.
The Ulladulla Respiratory Clinic located in Ulladulla's South Street car park is also open Monday to Friday 8:30am 12: 30pm for COVID testing.
"We are now using a local laboratory, Southern Pathology, to obtain faster results," Dr Hoang said.
"A QR code proof of testing is now available at the clinic, if you need proof for work."
The new digital solution has been developed by NSW Health for people to provide evidence that they have been tested for Covid-19.
Patients scan a special QR code at the Ulladulla Respiratory Clinic after swabbing and once they complete a few mandatory fields and then are issued with a testing receipt.
Bookings for vaccinations or COVID testing can be made online at www.hotdoc.com.au or by calling the medical centre on 4455 5422.
