I know a lot of you have been waiting to hear this news:
Check the thread for more info, but from 7am tomorrow, all Victorians over 16 will be eligible to book an appointment to be vaccinated at state vaccine centres.
Check the thread for more info, but from 7am tomorrow, all Victorians over 16 will be eligible to book an appointment to be vaccinated at state vaccine centres.
Here's the details:
From tomorrow, 16 to 59 year olds will be eligible for the Pfizer vaccine, 18 to 59 year olds will also be eligible for the AstraZeneca, and Victorians 60 and over will still receive the Astra Zeneca.
From tomorrow, 16 to 59 year olds will be eligible for the Pfizer vaccine, 18 to 59 year olds will also be eligible for the AstraZeneca, and Victorians 60 and over will still receive the Astra Zeneca.
At 7am tomorrow morning appointments will be available for anyone aged 16 and over at coronavirus.vic.gov.au or by phoning the Coronavirus Hotline on 1800 675 398.
I'm going to be upfront: this change means that about 2m more Victorians are eligible for the Pfizer vaccine - and supply is still a challenge. There are only 450,000 first dose bookings available for Pfizer. We'll be adding more appointments every day as we get more supply.
That means the advice of the Chief Health Officer - that the best vaccine you can get is the one you can get today - is truer than ever. We've got plenty of Astra Zeneca and Victorians between 18 and 59 can choose to get that vaccine if you want to get vaccinated sooner.
