Australia’s COVID-19 vaccination program is now underway.
The first members of our community to receive the vaccines will be priority groups who are at a higher risk of COVID-19 including quarantine and border workers, frontline healthcare workers, along with aged and disability care residents and staff.
I encourage everyone to consult the COVID-19 vaccine eligibility checker which will detail when you are likely to be eligible to receive a vaccine:
www.covid-vaccine.healthdirect.gov.au/eligibility
I will be vaccinated as early as I possibly can and I encourage others in our community to do the same. Vaccination clinics are being set up at hospitals and in aged care and disability care facilities.
For more information, please see www.healthdirect.gov.au
My staff and I are here to help you. Please call my office on 9349 6007, email matt.thistlethwaite.mp@aph.gov.au or reach me via Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
