From next week, it will be easier for Western Australian secondary school students and school staff to roll up for WA.
From the start of Term 4, a rolling school-based vaccination program will roll out for students 12 years and over and school staff at around 20 schools across WA. Priority schools will include residential, agricultural and boarding colleges, as well as education support settings.
Students aged 16 years and over, and school staff, will be able to get vaccinated without an appointment at the Joondalup and Claremont State-run clinics, with dedicated time slots available after school hours.
During the school holidays, walk-in opportunities for students and school staff will additionally be available at clinics in Midland, Kwinana and the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Regional clinics will also offer walk-in opportunities for senior students and school staff in Coolgardie, Esperance, Kalgoorlie, Kambalda, Leonora, Norseman, Bunbury, Derby, Kununurra, Carnarvon and Geraldton. Further regional locations will be added soon.
Children in remote communities will be offered vaccinations as part of a broader community outreach vaccination program coordinated by WA Country Health Service.
COVID-19 vaccination clinics are available in more than 100 locations across Western Australia, with locations listed on the HealthyWA website. A range of GPs and GP respiratory clinics will also be able to provide the vaccine to children aged 12 years and older.
