This will tell you which phase of the rollout you are in.
Book your vaccination appointment
COVID-19 vaccinations are voluntary and free.
When it is your turn to get vaccinated, you can call us on (02) 7909 6553 or online to book your appointments to get your first and second doses of the vaccine.
Make sure you book an appointment for your first and second doses. Please give us a call if you need to confirm what the timing should be between the appointments.
Getting ready for your vaccination
Please do not come to your vaccination appointment:
• if you are feeling unwell with fever, cough, runny nose or other symptoms that could be from COVID-19
• if you are waiting for COVID-19 test results, or have tested positive for COVID-19
• if you are a close contact of someone with COVID-19, or
• if you are in quarantine.
If you have had another vaccine in the 14 days before your COVID-19 vaccine appointment, please let us know as we may need to reschedule your appointment.
If you cannot make it to your vaccination appointment, please contact us to arrange a new appointment.
