ALL Victorians aged 12 and over can now access the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines at state-run vaccination centres, including Mildura’s Kiarivu Barracks.
For people aged over 60, the change means they now have the option to get either mRNA jab or the AstraZeneca vaccine.
As of Sunday, 85.5 per cent of Victorians had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, while 58.6 per cent were fully vaccinated.
Victorians can book a state-run centre by visiting coronavirus.vic.gov.au or calling 1800 675 398, or through their local GP or pharmacist by visiting covid-vaccine.healthdirect.gov.au/eligibility.
“With all vaccines open to all Victorians aged 12 and over, and plenty of appointments available, there’s no reason not to book your jab today,” Health Minister Martin Foley said.
