We all have a role to play in helping to get COVID-19 under control and life in NSW back to normal.

By getting the COVID-19 vaccination you are helping to protect yourself, the people closest to you and your community.

Two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine provide around 90 per cent protection from hospitalisation and death from COVID-19.

And when enough people in the community are vaccinated, it slows down the spread of disease.

By getting vaccinated you join millions of others who have taken action to fight COVID-19 together.

5 years and over are now eligible to be vaccinated

ATAGI has now approved the COVID-19 vaccine for anyone 5 years and over. More information on this is available on the Federal government's Who can get vaccinated page.

COVID-19 vaccines are free for everyone in Australia regardless of Medicare or visa status.

There are many different ways to access the COVID-19 vaccination, including through your GP, a vaccination clinic or selective pharmacies.

Check your eligibility and book your appointment now.

Booster vaccination

COVID-19 booster doses are now available and recommended three months after your second dose (or third dose if immunocompromised) to maintain the best protection against serious illness from COVID-19.

This means if you are 16 years old or over and had your second (or third) dose three months ago, then it's time to get your booster.

A booster is strongly recommended to help maintain your protection against the virus, Omicron and Delta included and particularly if you’re over 65 or have an underlying medical condition.

Getting a booster will help make sure you, your loved ones, and your community stay protected against COVID-19.

See the When to get your booster poster in the booster promo resources section below to find out when you can get boosted. Then you're ready walk in to a vaccination hub (no bookings required) or book an appointment with your GP or pharmacy to get boosted.

Staff are also able to update their booster vaccination status on DCJ’s vaccination register. Instructions on how to do this are available on our vaccination information page.
