The COVID-19 vaccine is currently being rolled out in phases across Australia and we strongly encourage all students to get vaccinated once they have the opportunity to do so.
While the rollout of vaccines is positive, it is not a quick fix so it is still important to continue to practice good hygiene, practice physical distancing, and get tested and stay home when you’re unwell, particularly if you’re showing any symptoms of COVID-19.
Visit the SA Health website or the Department of Health website to find out more information on the vaccine and who is eligible for Phase 1b, which commenced on Monday, 22 March.
