Miss the ‘flu shot? Need the COVID?

Drive through service!

More than 60 local residents received the 2021 Influenza vaccination at the Rawson Community Health Centre’s ‘drive though’ session today. The Erica SES had opened their garage doors to make that very convenient arrangement possible. No further sessions are planned for Rawson, so if you missed out, talk to your Doctor or Chemist!

No similar arrangement for COVID vaccination is currently planned, but several facilities offering that injection are being established in Moe, Morwell and Traralgon. Some Doctors and Chemists will also participate.

Note: the two vaccinations should be taken at least two weeks apart.
