Infection control

You are now able to receive a booster covid-19 dose if you received your second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine at least six months ago. A booster dose will further strengthen your protection and the protection of those around you from COVID-19.

We had an in-reach clinic on the 2nd of December 2021 and 57 residents and 25 staff were vaccinated. Thank you all for rolling up your sleeves and having this done. 

Thank you to everyone who also assisted before, on the day and after the day. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. 

There may be more in-reach clinics to come in the future but none have been booked at this stage. If you are due for your booster and are able to get one from your G.P or pharmacy please go ahead and get this done. Also provide evidence to Sharon once you have been vaccinated so that we can add it to your records.
