Vaccinations for 5 – 11 year olds now available
“With the start of the school year just around the corner, I wanted to
share some good news for parents.
From today, Victorian kids aged 5-11 can get booked in for a COVID-19
vaccine at state centres.
Throughout this pandemic, our kids have given up so many of the things
they love and enjoy.
Now it’s their turn to get protected, and to help keep their schools and
families safe too.
The first doses will be administered next week, and because we know kids
aren’t always the biggest fans of needles – we’re making some of our
hubs more friendly and welcoming.
There will be entertainment, activities, and free show bags with
colouring-in books, pencils, stickers and fidget spinners to help keep
them distracted too.
The vaccine is completely free, effective, and safe.
And I know this will give so many parents the peace of mind they’ve long
been waiting for.
So please, get online and book in a vax today.
