South Western Sydney Local Health District has been providing vaccination in the region since February 22 last year and has now administered more than 670,000 doses of the vaccine to emergency services, essential workers and community members aged five and over.
District Chief Executive Amanda Larkin said it was wonderful to see NSW Health, GPs and pharmacies working together to achieve this fantastic result in one year.
“I thank everyone in the community for coming forward for their first, second and booster doses to protect themselves and their loved ones,” she said.
“With winter coming, it is more important than ever to keep your vaccination status up-to-date.
“Please come and get your booster three months after your second dose of the vaccine. A booster will help you improve your long-term protection against Covid-19 and put you in a strong position to fight the infection.”
Vaccines are available at NSW Health clinics, GPs and pharmacies. To book, visit nsw.gov.au.
