*phone bookings only initially, no walk-ins
A new high-volume vaccination centre located at the Cranbourne Turf Club will also open 4 May.
Phone bookings remain strongly encouraged at all sites allowing walk-ins. When Victorians call the booking service by dialling 1800 675 398 (and selecting option 3, option 2, option 2) they can discuss the centre that’s right for them, based on availability, age and vaccine type, an official press release said.
A number of these open access centres will offer a clear pathway to the Pfizer vaccine strictly for those eligible to receive it. The Pfizer vaccine is supply limited and prioritised for eligible people under the age of 50 in phase 1a and 1b of the Commonwealth’s program, in line with advice from ATAGI.
More information about locations, vaccine and walk-in access is also available at coronavirus.vic.gov.au/vaccine
