Healthy North Coast is working closely with the Australian Government-funded provider International SOS to coordinate vaccination hubs for aged care staff.
The vaccinations commence next week and will be moving up the coast through centrally located hubs in Port Macquarie, Kempsey, Coffs Harbour, Grafton, Casino, Ballina and Tweed.
All first dose clinics will be completed by 10 September, ensuring all aged care staff have had one vaccination before the Australian Government’s mandated deadline of 17 September.
Other opportunities for contracted staff of residential aged care facilities are being planned at present and will be communicated to the facility managers once finalised.
