From Monday 12 July 2021, the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine will be available at several participating general practices throughout the Murrumbidgee region.

The Pfizer vaccine is currently being offered to people aged 40-59, and anybody under the age of 40 who also meets additional eligibility criteria. The vaccine is also available at Murrumbidgee region general practice respiratory clinics in Wagga Wagga, Griffith, Young, Gundagai and Deniliquin.

Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network (MPHN) Acting CEO, Julie Redway said it is important that people who are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccination come forward and make an appointment.

“We are now entering a significant phase of the national vaccination rollout. This expansion of vaccine availability will give more people the ability to protect themselves and the community from COVID-19,” Ms Redway said.

“It is also important people continue to isolate and get tested if they are experiencing any symptoms and to follow current health advice at all times.”

The Pfizer vaccine will be offered to eligible residents alongside the AstraZeneca vaccine, which is also being administered at local vaccination hubs and participating general practices.

The AstraZeneca vaccine is available for people who are aged 60 and above.

MPHN’s COVID-19 Pandemic Lead, Dr Alison Koschel has commended the incredible work and dedication of all staff who are participating in the National vaccination rollout.

“General practice and vaccination hub staff are working tirelessly to provide this important vaccine to the community. As demand for the vaccine increases it is important people remain patient and kind when booking an appointment,” Dr Koschel said.

“If you are unsure of which vaccine you are eligible for, please check your eligibility online using the Commonwealth’s online eligibility checker.”
