(1/5) Meet Kath, Kim, Kirstie and Dee 👋 – some of the people behind the scenes at ACT Health working on ensuring everyone in our community has the best chance to access a COVID-19 vaccine #AccessToEquity covid19.act.gov.au/getmyvaccine

(2/5) ‘Besides the willingness and enthusiasm of Canberrans to get vaccinated, one of the reasons our rates are so high is the hard work our team is putting into providing equity to access. It's important that we make sure that no one gets left behind,’ says Kim. #AccessToEquity

(3/5) 'We know not everyone finds it easy to get information on COVID-19 vaccines, to make bookings or attend appointments. Our role is to bridge this gap and remove barriers to access a COVID-19 vaccination.’ #AccessToEquity COVID19.act.gov.au/getmyvaccine

(4/5) The ACT Health Equity to Access program works by using the trusted supports within our community to help individuals access COVID-19 vaccines. Over the past few weeks, we’ve run many in-reach and pop-up clinics with partners to get a wide section of our community vaccinated

(5/5) 'It takes a lot of planning, time, effort and resources – but our results show how worthwhile this has been. I’m so proud that Canberrans have responded so well to getting the COVID-19 vaccine as the best way to protect themselves, their family, friends and the community’.

If you know someone who is struggling to access a COVID-19 vaccine, call us on 5124 7700 (7am-7pm). If you still have questions about COVID-19 vaccines, speak to a GP or health care provider at any clinic and they’ll help you make an informed decision ccovid19.act.gov.au/getmyvaccine
