A new COVID-19 vaccination clinic located at Calvary Public Hospital Bruce opens today, offering the AstraZeneca vaccine to people in the ACT aged 50 and over.
The ACT Government has supported amendments to the National COVID-19 vaccine rollout.
Currently the Pfizer vaccine is preferred over the AstraZeneca vaccine for adults aged under 50 years of age.
You do not need to pay to receive a COVID-19 vaccination.
COVID-19 vaccine demand is high right now and supply is limited. More appointments will become available as the supply of vaccines increases.
COVID-19 vaccinations for 1b will start on Monday 22 March 2021.
AstraZeneca vaccinations have kicked off in the ACT. The focus continues to be on vaccinating those eligible as part of phase 1a.
The COVID-19 Surge Centre on Garran Oval will begin offering both the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines from next week.
