When you will get the jab

Australia’s COVID-19 vaccination program is officially underway and is one step closer to resuming life after a pandemic.

According to Morrison’s planned schedule, the vaccine should have been available to anyone who wanted a free vaccine by the end of October.

During 2021, all Australians are strongly encouraged to get jabs to help us achieve “herd immunity” and prevent the spread of the virus.

However, no one is forced to get it.

At this time, shots for teens and toddlers have not yet been approved, so children are not part of the current plan.

Miss not only pregnant or lactating mothers, but also those with an existing condition or a weakened immune system.

For everyone else, your age, occupation, and health will determine when the vaccine will be available.

So when can you roll up your sleeves?
