Why you should get a Covid-19 vaccination

Covid-19 is very dangerous and spreads quickly. The vaccines work very well against Covid-19. Getting vaccinated helps to protect you and your mob.

2 doses of a vaccine:

reduces the chance you will catch Covid-19 by around 60% to 80%
gives you around 90% protection against needing to be admitted to hospital or dying from Covid-19
reduces the spread of Covid-19 to others.
The Pfizer vaccine is recommended for pregnant women at any stage of pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Even those who are young and healthy should get vaccinated. The majority of Aboriginal peoples with Covid-19 in NSW are under 40. Many young people have needed hospital or even intensive care because of Covid-19. You should get vaccinated to protect yourself and your mob.

There are also options to get vaccinated at Green Square Library in Zetland, and Ultimo Community Centre.. Find more information on where else to get a vaccination.
