(1/5) Pharmacists play an incredible role. And this year many have taken on a new mission by providing COVID-19 vaccines to Canberrans. Marjan Seyedi, a local pharmacist, shares her experiences navigating ACT’s lockdown while working to get many of us vaccinated against COVID-19.
(2/5) ‘In pharmacy it’s all about accessibility. Being open and able to provide people with their medication, or access to vaccination, and being available to help people when they need us, is what we love doing.
Vaccination is one of those really incredible things' #WPD2021
(3/5) 'Being able to offer the Moderna vaccine to people aged 12 and above, in particular parents and their kids, as well as the AZ vaccine to people 18 and older, is really important for us' #WPD2021
(4/5) 'A few weeks ago we had a positive case come in so myself and colleagues had to quarantine and return 2 negative tests. It’s part of working during an outbreak whilst providing an essential service. We’ve received lots of appreciation from the community, which is so valued’
(5/5) Thank you Marjan and all pharmacists across the ACT ❤️ As part of World Pharmacists Day, today we celebrate you! 👏👏👏COVID-19 vaccines are available at pharmacies, GPs and ACT Gov clinics.

1/4 While lockdown may have ended, your responsibilities haven’t. A certain level of restrictions remain in place, including visitors to another household.
Here’s what you need to know:
◾ You may only have five visitors to your household at any one time.
2/4◾ This limit does not include children under the age of 12 and there is no time limit for visits.
◾ Visitors do not need to be the same 5 people each time, but try to minimise the number of different people coming to your house as we continue to manage the current outbreak.
3/4 ◾ You should wear a face mask when visiting someone’s home. All people aged 12 years and over must carry and wear a face mask at all times when outside of their residence. There are exemptions to this requirement, for example when eating or drinking.
