COVID-19 Important Information
Important information from the Northern Territory Government Health Department about the COVID-19 vaccine:
- Soon everyone here in the Territory will be asked to get a vaccine needle against the COVID-19 virus.
- The vaccine medicine is safe and free.
- You will need to get it 2 times and we ask that you get these needles to keep everyone in your community safe.
- You can help to make things good for everyone. Do this so you are safe, do this so your community is safe.
- COVID-19 effects everyone. Do this so we can stop COVID-19.
- If you are worried or if you want to know more, the website www.coronavirus.nt.gov.au has lots of information. You can also talk to your local health clinic about how and when that needle will be given.
- Know the COVID19 needle / vaccine story. We can all help make the Territory safe.
