NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has pleaded with the Federal Government to "let us help" with the rollout of the coronavirus vaccine.
It comes after a war of words erupted between the two governments over claims NSW has been slow to administer COVID-19 shots.
"If we don't help the Commonwealth, they will not be able to meet their own deadlines rolling out the vaccine," Ms Berejiklian told Today.
"As a state, NSW has been asked to do 300,000 vaccines. We've done 100,000 already. We're a third of the way through. And when we finish the 300,000 we've been asked to do, because there's around 6 million people in NSW that need to get vaccinated, we're saying to the Commonwealth let us help you.
"We can do tens of thousands of vaccines a week. Let us help you through the GP network you have, because we know the GPs are going to be doing their part.
"We're saying to the Commonwealth let us help you. Which they haven't agreed to. We've got 100 hubs set up ready to go around NSW. They haven't agreed to that."
