22 Sept 2021
Mayor James Hayes is encouraging the communities of the Snowy Valleys to roll up their sleeve and get vaccinated.
As of 19 September, 78.7% of people aged 16 and over in the Snowy Valleys had received their first dose of a COVID vaccine, with 46.1% having received their second (Australian Government Dept Health figures).
“Supporting the community to get vaccinated is my priority,” Cr Hayes said.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our local clinicians and pharmacists rolling out the local vaccination program; they have been working tirelessly to keep our community safe. You have and will continue to play a critical role in difficult times".
You can book your vaccination by visiting the NSW Health Eligibility Checker or contacting your local GP or Pharmacy.
