VACCHO – COVID Information & Support

Uncle Jack tells us that a vaccinated community means we can take care of our most vulnerable elders. Watch his video here.

Doing these things together will keep community safer.

Kids’ health is key to community’s health. We now have the opportunity to protect our kids, just as we have protected our Elders. Protecting our kids reduces the risk of passing on COVID-19 and helps reduce the severity if they catch it.

COVID-19 vaccinations for 5 to 11-year-olds are available now. You can book your appointment through your local Aboriginal health service, GP, pharmacist or state vaccination centre. Supports are available for children with special needs, who are easily overwhelmed in crowded spaces or scared of needles.
