Far West LHD at Agfair 2022
Agfair patrons are encouraged to visit the Far West Local Health District booth which will be in the Rotary Pavilion.
FWLHD staff will be present throughout both days to talk about their respective service and related health topics.
Agfair visitors will have an opportunity to have a general discussion with them and there will be information and handouts available.
“We hope that people take the time to visit us at Agfair and that one or more of the service topics on our timetable pique their interest. Our staff are excited to be able to have down-to-earth talks and interaction with the public,” said a Far West LHD spokesperson.
As well as information about services and programs, healthy eating will be highlighted with free fruit and water and there will be various Agfair giveaways.
A FWLHD pop-up COVID-19 vaccination clinic will also be operating in the Rotary Pavilion (near the FWLHD booth).
Anyone aged five years and over can get a Pfizer, Modern or Paediatric Pfizer vaccination with no appointment necessary, from 9am to 4pm Friday and 9am to 1pm Saturday. Education and information about COVID-19 vaccination will be available and vaccination staff are happy to answer any questions.
