Studies show that the immunity created by COVID-19 vaccines begins to wane over time. A booster dose helps to strengthen your immune system and improve your long-term protection against serious illness from the COVID-19 virus.
Booster doses are now available for people aged 16 and over who had their second dose at least three months ago. Anyone aged five and over can now have their COVID-19 vaccine.
People who have had COVID should still get their booster vaccination once fully recovered from the virus. For most people this is around 4-6 weeks after infection.
The MLHD Vaccination Clinic in Wagga Wagga has family friendly opening hours and is open between 11:30am until 7pm on weekdays.
The MLHD Vaccination Clinic in Griffith is open until 5pm on weekdays.
The Moderna vaccine is also available at both clinics on Monday mornings from 9am to 12 noon.
