Vaccinations for students aged 12-15 years
NSW Health has sought the assistance of the Catholic sector to communicate the following messages:
- NSW Health strongly urges all students aged 12-15 years to receive two doses of either Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines as soon as possible before returning to school.
- There is currently sufficient supply of the Moderna vaccine to community pharmacies and the Pfizer vaccine to General Practitioners. Bookings can be made via the Vaccine Clinic Finder. Depending on location, bookings are available within the next few days.
- COVID-19 vaccination is the best protection against severe illness and also reduces the risk of spreading COVID-19 to others. Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 now will help to protect both you, your family and your school community.
The following factsheets regarding Moderna and young people are available:
- Commonwealth Government factsheet
- Children aged 12-15 years require parental or guardian consent to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. For more information, visit: COVID-19 vaccination FAQs for parents and guardians.
