4 January 2022
From today, Territorians aged 18 years and over who received their second dose of the COVID-19 vaccination four months ago are now eligible for their booster shot.
The interval has been reduced from five months.
All Territorians are encouraged to book in for their booster dose when they are eligible, to ensure they remain protected from COVID-19.
It also decreases the risk of getting seriously ill and going to hospital and transmitting the virus.
You can book to get your booster dose at an NT Vaccination Centre, participating GP Clinics, Respiratory Clinics, Pharmacies and Aboriginal Health Clinics.
Quotes from Chief Minister Michael Gunner:
“2021 was the year of getting vaxxed, and 2022 is the year of getting boosted.
“Thousands of Territorians will today become eligible to receive their booster – if that’s you, book in to boost up and add another layer of protection against COVID-19.”
Quotes from Health Minister Natasha Fyles:
“The Omicron variant is spreading through the Territory and the evidence shows booster shots offer the best possible protection to yourself, your community and your loved ones.
“I urge every Territorian who has not yet received their first two doses to book their appointment as soon as possible.
“Over 20,000 Territorians have already received their third dose and we want to see that number continue to climb in January and beyond.”
