Older age continues to be the biggest risk factor for severe COVID-19 disease.
Everyone aged 75 years and over is recommended to have a COVID-19 vaccination every 6 months.
For those aged 65 to 74 years, a COVID-19 vaccination is recommended at least every 12 months.
You don’t have to wait 6 months anymore between your last infection and having a COVID-19 vaccination.
COVID-19 vaccines are free, safe and effective. The vaccine will protect our older community and you, from serious illness.
If you have a family member, friend or loved one living or working in an aged care home, please help them to get their COVID-19 vaccine now.
COVID-19 vaccination helps reduce the risk of serious illness, hospitalisation and death.
