The Federal Government will compensate the Hunter for Pfizer doses that have been redirected to Sydney.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said 185,000 doses would be sent to NSW over the next two weeks in an effort to raise vaccination rates.
The extra doses will arrive on August 9 and 16.
"We are ensuring that the doses that were reallocated from Newcastle and the Hunter by the state government are replaced in full," Mr Morrision said.
The Newcastle Herald is seeking clarification about exactly how many extra doses will arrive in the Hunter.
About 40,000 Pfizer doses have been taken out of regional NSW for Year 12 students.
"This is another shot in the arm for the state's vaccination rollout," Mr Morrison said.
"Every vaccination can save a life."
Shortland MP Pat Conroy led the Opposition's attack on the Government over its handling of the vaccine roll-out on Thursday.
"Vaccine supplies in the central Coast and Hunter region right through to Greater Sydney is an absolute mess. Isn't it true there would not be a desperate shortage of vaccines in NSW if the Prime Minister had done his job on quarantine and vaccine in the first place?," Mr Conroy asked during Question Time.
In response, Mr Morrision said the government continued to provide more doses to GPs, pharmacists, and distribution points across NSW.
Hunter MP Joel Fitzgibbon welcomed the restoration of the Hunter's Pfizer supplies.
"I'll be diligently monitoring the progress of the promise. Today's Hunter lockdown demonstrates what a cruel and poor decision the redirection was," he said.
Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter Taylor Martin, a NSW upper house member, welcomed the announcement.
"I'm grateful that the Prime Minister has heard the call from across the Hunter and Central Coast to have the doses replenished that were reallocated last week to HSC students," Mr Martin said.
"I really want to thank those people - whose vaccination was deferred this week - for their enthusiasm to get vaccinated.
"Hunter New England Health will be in touch with people to rebook their appointments."
Maitland Christian School employee James Thomson, who is also the Nationals candidate for the federal seat of Hunter, said he was on his way to get a COVID test after two students at the school tested positive.
"I think the federal government has taken a commonsense approach by replacing the Hutner's Pfizer vaccines. We should never have been put in this situation in the first place," he said.
