Other regional events however will be part of the program including the Cohuna Show and the Swan Hill Food and Wine Festival

Minister for Health Martin Foley said it was a great way to make vaccinations more accessible.

"The vaccine is the most important tool in the COVIDSafe toolkit and now you can get it at Bunnings. We're proud to work with this iconic Australian business to get more jabs in arms," he said.

OTHER NEWS:

"These pop-ups will be opening across Victoria, but they will focus particularly on areas with fewer GPs and less pharmacy access."

The Elmore Tractor Pull will be held at the Elmore Events Centre on Saturday, March 19.

You can book the next dose of your vaccine today at a GP or pharmacy, or book or walk-in at a vaccination centre.
