The unfunny thing about this notice is that it does NOT tell you how to get vaccinated.
It seems there is no vaccine available.
I have been on a waiting list for two and half months and still waiting. I have had one jab and they put back my second jab not until the end of October.
Where is all this vaccine? Not in the Northern Rivers.
