Community action with vaccination
COVID-19 vaccinations are available at more than 100 locations across the region including GP’s, Pharmacies, Aboriginal Medical Services and MLHD clinics.
Vaccination for people aged 5 to 11 years is available at NSW Health vaccination clinics and participating GPs and pharmacies.
We encourage everyone who is eligible to book into an NSW Health vaccination clinic or another provider without delay through the COVID-19 vaccine clinic finder.
The clinics are available for walk-ins, or you can book ahead to pre-register and save time in the line.
In MLHD 97.1% of people aged over 16 and 81.4% of people aged 12 - 15 have received 2 doses of a COVID-19 vaccine.
Booster doses of COVID-19 vaccines are now available for people aged 18 and over who had their second dose at least 4 months ago.
We urge people to get their booster dose as soon as they are eligible, to best protect themselves, their loved ones and the community from the ongoing transmission of COVID-19.
We also strongly recommend that people aged 12 years and over who are severely immunocompromised have a third primary dose of vaccine from 2 months after their second dose.
Stay safe and limit the spread
As case numbers grow across the region, we're encouraging everyone to take every reasonable precaution to reduce the risk against the virus and protect themselves and their families.
Remember to:
- wear a mask indoors and to wash and sanitise your hands regularly
- if you are unwell do not go out and visit family, friends or go to social events
- socialise outdoors where possible
Symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, sore or scratchy throat, cough, runny nose, shortness of breath and a change in taste or smell.
Other reported symptoms include fatigue, muscle or joint pain, blocked nose, headache, nausea, diarrhoea and loss of appetite.
Even if you are fully vaccinated, be alert for any COVID-19 symptoms.
Even if you have one mild symptom of COVID-19, isolate until you can get a RAT or PCR test.
