The Gurdwara Siri Guru Nanak Darbar (Sikh Temple) will launch a pop-up vaccination hub in Officer to help the community to get their COVID-19 vaccines.
The Sikh community has partnered with EACH Health to administer COVID-19 vaccines from Friday, 1 October until Monday, 4 October, between 9.30am-4pm each day.
The community has been working with health authorities who will administer COVID-19 vaccines in line with eligibility requirements. People can walk in to get vaccinated—no bookings required.
Community members are encouraged to bring their family and friends along to get vaccinated.
“I am pleased to be working with the Victorian Department of Health to bring the vaccination closer to people in a setting that’s familiar to them,” said Harpreet Kandra, a volunteer at Gurdwara Siri Guru Nanak Darbar.
People are reminded that if they are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms or are in isolation, they must not attend the vaccination clinic. They can make an appointment when they have finished their isolation period and have a negative test result.
The Temple will accommodate ample space for 6 booths and will administer up to 250 vaccines per day.
Private spaces for individuals and families will also be provided on request. There will be plenty of onsite parking.
Interpreters will be available.
“I encourage everybody in the Indian, Sikh community and in the wider Officer community to get vaccinated as it will help keep you and your family safe,” Kandra said.

Dear Reader,The Indian Sun is an independent organisation committed to community journalism. We have, through the years, been able to reach a wide audience especially with the growth of social media, where we also have a strong presence. With platforms such as YouTube videos, we have been able to engage in different forms of storytelling. However, the past few years, like many media organisations around the world, it has not been an easy path. We have a greater challenge. We believe community journalism is very important for a multicultural country like Australia. We’re not able to do everything, but we aim for some of the most interesting stories and journalism of quality. We call upon readers like you to support us and make any contribution. Do make a DONATION NOW so we can continue with the volume and quality journalism that we are able to practice.
