To protect the health of older Australians, providers must continue to be vigilant by maintaining COVID Safe behaviours. Vaccination continues to be the best line of defence against COVID-19. Being up to date with COVID-19 vaccinations provides an individual with significant protection and reduces the risk of developing serious illness. Up-to-date vaccination includes having had a booster shot in the last 6 months.
Country SA PHN can provide support to organise a local GP or Pharmacy to assist in vaccinating your aged care home. Please contact the team via email: ageingwell@countrysaphn.com.au
