Vaccination clinics in Castlemaine, Swan Hill and Kyneton will offer 300 doses per week until September 19.

Bendigo Health chair Bob Cameron hoped people to take advantage of the increased vaccine supply.

"We know some people might have been waiting a long time to access a COVID-19 vaccine - now is your chance," he said.

"These new vaccination appointments are for people without a current booking. If you have an existing appointment, please keep it."

Mr Cameron said Bendigo's Vaccination Clinic on Mollison Street vaccinated 6000 people last week, which will rise to close to 8000 per week with this additional supply.

The COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic has also made an extra available 1200 vaccination appointments over the next two weeks for year 12 students as part of the State Government targeted vaccination blitz.
