The NSW Government is calling on people to roll up their sleeve and get their third vaccination in a month-long booster blitz at clinics across the state including a pop-up hub at the NRL All Stars blockbuster this Saturday.
Premier Dominic Perrottet said the clinic at CommBank Stadium is part of a statewide booster drive over the next four weekends to further protect the community against COVID-19.
\u201cWe know boosters provide the best protection against serious illness and hospitalisation and it\u2019s our great vaccination rates that have enabled us to start getting our lives back on track,\u201d Mr Perrottet said.
\u201cI encourage everyone to go take that extra step for themselves and their loved ones.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minister for Health Brad Hazzard those eligible should take their cue from the All Stars and front up for a jab before the game.
\u201cNSW has one of highest vaccination rates in the world thanks to the community\u2019s willingness to roll up their sleeves at our many NSW Health mass vaccination clinics and pop-up clinics, as well as at GPs and pharmacies. These additional walk-in pop-up clinics will make it even easier to get your first, second or third dose,\u201d Mr Hazzard said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no need to show your Medicare card or book in advance, just drop into one of the many pop-up clinics, or on game day.\u201d
Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Ben Franklin encouraged everyone in attendance to use the opportunity to get their free booster while enjoying the world class sporting event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe evidence is clear. Vaccines are our best line of defence against COVID-19. They can help protect you, your loved ones and the community from serious illness,\u201d Mr Franklin said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn NSW, we know that vaccination rates among Aboriginal people are lower than the rest of the population, so I\u2019m encouraging everyone in attendance this Saturday to roll up your sleeve and get boosted so we can keep each other safe and get back to enjoying more of the things we love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vaccination clinics across the state will be accepting walk-ins every weekend for the next four weeks. Details of all the NSW Health clinics participating in the walk-in weekend campaign over the coming month, with locations and opening times, are available through nsw.gov.au\/weekend-walk-in
The pop-up vaccination clinic at the NRL All Stars game will be located inside the stadium and will be operating from 4:00pm to 8:00pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are eligible for the booster shot if you\u2019re aged 16 years or over, and it\u2019s been at least three months since your second COVID-19 vaccination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
