PEOPLE 18 and over are now be eligible for a booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine three months after receiving their second dose in the ACT.
This change, initially planned for January 31, has been brought forward as vaccine supply in the ACT is plentiful and capacity is available at the ACT government’s vaccination clinics, the government says.
The government estimates that reducing the interval to three months will mean an extra 183,000 Canberrans are now eligible to receive a booster.
Bookings at the AIS Arena clinic can be made by calling 5124 7700 between 7am and 7pm or online using MyDHR for those aged 16 and over. Anyone with an existing MyDHR account will be able to book your booster appointment from this afternoon (January 19).
The Canberra Airport vaccination clinic will reopen from next week, but will initially be focused on priority vaccinations for school and early childhood staff.
As of this morning, the next available appointment for the AIS Arena clinic was on January 26.
