COVID-19 vaccinations for people over 70: Are you due for your third dose?
If you received your second COVID-19 vaccination three or more months ago, you should get your third dose now.
It’s now even easier for people aged 70 and over to get their third dose with a free vaccination at home appointment.
Three doses of a COVID-19 vaccine are very important for people aged 70 and over who are more likely to become sick if they get the virus.
A few months after your second dose, your protection against COVID-19 will not be as high. Getting a third dose will help maintain your protection against serious illness if you do get COVID-19.
You can get your free third dose at any state-run vaccination centre, your regular GP or pharmacy, or an Aboriginal Controlled Community Health Organisation.
You can call the Coronavirus Hotline on 1800 675 398 to make a booking or go online for more information:
