Vaccinating 5-11-year-olds

Children aged between 5 and 11 years can be vaccinated against COVID-19 from January 2022.

Castlemaine Health’s COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic will begin vaccinating this group from Wednesday, 12 January. Information on how to book appointments for this group will be available on Tuesday, 4 January 2022.

By vaccinating your little ones, you’ll be helping to:

• keep schools open, so kids can have more face-to-face learning and playtime with their friends
• reduce the spread of COVID-19
• protect them from getting sick from COVID-19.

A new consent form for this group will be available from our website in early 2022. Verbal consent from parents/legal guardians will be sought on the day of the appointment.
