Community Vaccination Program
At Lalor North Secondary College
As we approach winter and flu season, reduce the risk of your child becoming very unwell by getting them vaccinated.
Bookings for children aged 5 to 11 to receive their first or second COVID-19 vaccine dose are available. And also parents/carers can have their 3rd jab ( Pfizer ) and Flu Jabs on this day. Flu Jabs are also available for anyone over 6 months of age.
Our school will host a vaccination clinic on Monday 20th June 2022 from 5:00PM to 7:00PM at Lalor North Secondary College for first and second doses, open to everyone in the community. Bookings and walk-ups are available.
Please note that provider is also organising the adult COVID-19 Jab (Pfizer booster jab) adults at the same time.
Merrifield City Medical Centre will also hold a community engagement session on Thursday 15th June 2022 from 6:00PM onwards for parents and carers to ask questions about vaccination and hear from our health experts.
Kids who received their first dose 8 or more weeks ago can now get their second dose. A second COVID-19 dose will help maximise your child’s protection against the COVID-19 virus.
Getting kids vaccinated will help:
· reduce the spread of COVID-19 in the community
· protect them from getting sick from COVID-19
· reduce disruption to learning, sport and another activity so children can have more face-to-face learning and playtime with their friends.
The vaccine is safe and effective for children. All side effects of vaccination are reported and monitored, to ensure the ongoing safety of vaccination. For more information about vaccination for children, visit: https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/vaccination-information-children-and-teenagers
