Atitjere Community received a visit from Central Australian Health Services (CAHS) COVID-19 vaccination team on Monday 24 May. All eligible members of the community were able to receive their first dose of the Pfizer vaccine.The staff commented on how easy it was to get the vaccine with a mild ache in the arm as the only side effect.
People came from far and wide to receive their first dose with staff from Huckitta Station (56 km east) and Mount Riddock Station (30 km west) booking in alongside residents of Atitjere and the surrounding Homelands.
The second dose is due to be administered next week when the team visits again.
