Mayor Steve Christou is encouraging the community to get vaccinated with the launch of the ‘Arms out in August’ campaign.
“I’m calling on our community to put their arms out in August – so we can regain our freedoms,” he said.
“It’s the safest and fasted way out of this dire situation.”
He says the community is suffering and it cannot withstand ongoing lockdowns that are suffocating residents and businesses.
“The impact of this pandemic mismanagement will be felt for years or decades to come,” he said.
“Many families and businesses will never recover.”
While welcoming the increased roll out of vaccines, he has also urged the State Government to set up more vaccination clinics within the council’s facilities “to speed the roll out of the vaccine”.
The Mayor said the number of clinics “falls well short of what we need”.
Do your bit by getting the jab at a walk-in clinic, book in at a vaccination clinic or vet vaccinated at a local pharmacy or chemist.
