The invitation-only clinic will be set up in Dubbo from Saturday, September 11 and run through to Sunday September 19.
People who received their first Pfizer vaccination at the Dubbo ADF walk-in clinic between August 21 and 29 will be contacted by the Western NSW Local Health District by text or telephone to confirm the date, time and location of their second dose.
READ ALSO:
The clinic is invitation only for second doses, due to the minimum 21-day interval requirement.
NSW Health are reminding people they must not attend the clinic:
- If they are awaiting a COVID-19 test result
- Are a confirmed close contact of a confirmed COVID positive case
- Are unwell or are suffering from any symptoms
- Have had any other vaccination in the last seven days of their appointment.
If people are unable to attend they will need to seek their second dose from an alternative provider.
Residents who received AstraZeneca at the Dubbo ADF walk-in clinic between August 21 and 29 will also be contacted by NSW Health with advice on how to receive their second dose of the vaccine, in line with the four to twelve week interval.
Closer to their second dose date, people will be contacted either by text or telephone to confirm when and where they will receive their second dose.
The ADF were deployed to regional and remote NSW to help with the worsening COVID-19 crisis. The mass vaccination plans were a joint effort from NSW Health, police and the ADF.
