The people of NSW are being called on to roll up their sleeves and get their third COVID-19 vaccination in a month-long booster blitz at clinics across the State.
Launching NSW Health’s Weekend walk-in booster drive, Premier, Dominic Perrottet said the blitz would see walk-in vaccination appointments available across the State every weekend until 6 March.
“I encourage everyone to go take that extra step for themselves and their loved ones,” Mr Perrottet said.
Minister for Health, Brad Hazzard said walk-in pop-up clinics, like the one at the NRL All Stars blockbuster last Saturday (12 February), would open across the State during the booster blitz.
“NSW has one of highest vaccination rates in the world thanks to the community’s willingness to roll up their sleeves at our many NSW Health mass vaccination clinics and pop-up clinics, as well as at GPs and pharmacies,” Mr Hazzard said.
“These additional walk-in pop-up clinics will make it even easier to get your first, second or third dose,” he said.
“There’s no need to show your Medicare card or book in advance, just drop into one of the many pop-up clinics, or on game day.”
Mr Hazzard said people were eligible for a booster shot if they were aged 16 years or over and it had been at least three months since their second COVID-19 vaccination.
