"If you are aged 18 years or over, and it's been four months or more since your second vaccine, please call us to make an appointment to get your third dose."
Nurses at the clinic will administer the Pfizer vaccine (Comirnaty) only. Contact the MDHS on 5461 0300 between 8.30am and 5pm weekdays to make an appointment.
Anyone seeking a first or second dose should contact your local GP, pharmacy or a larger vaccination centre in Ballarat or Bendigo. Some pharmacies and state-run centres provide walk-ins.
