Living with COVID-19 is something everyone in Australia is learning to do. It’s important to remember to look after yourself and your social and emotional wellbeing, as well as your physical health.
COVID-19 can be dangerous, especially for our elders and people with existing medical conditions. Vaccines help reduce the spread and severity of the virus. Vaccines protects you, your family, elders and community from getting really sick with, or even dying from COVID-19. Everyone 5 years+ can book a vaccine.
