WA Health is counting down to the coming Super Vax Weekend (November 6-7).
Minister for Health, Roger Cook said pop-up clinics would appear at eight Bunnings stores and other convenient locations, as well as fixed State-run clinics and no appointments would be necessary.
Mr Cook said participating Bunnings stores included Rockingham, Harrisdale, Mindarie, Balcatta, Cannington, Ellenbrook, Geraldton and Busselton.
He said thousands of Diwali festivalgoers would also be able to roll up their sleeves at an expanded Claremont Showgrounds clinic with extended hours.
The Minister said there would also be opportunities to be vaccinated at clinics in Coolbellup, Northbridge, Carramar, Armadale, Midland, Kwinana, Joondalup, Perth’s central business district, Mirrabooka, Geraldton, Morawa, Northam, Albany and Bunbury.
In a message for the weekend, Premier, Mark McGowan said vaccination was vital for all Western Australians.
“If you’re eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine, get it now,” Mr McGowan said.
“There are many locations popping up, giving people added convenience,” he said.
Mr Cook said as part of Super Vax Weekend, there would also be fun activities for the community and families.
“Help your local community by getting vaccinated, then help your local charity by buying a sausage in a bun,” he said.
“It doesn’t get more West Aussie than that.
“I hope everyone embraces Super Vax Weekend with the enthusiasm it deserves,” Mr Cook said.
