Children's vaccinations (5-11) have been administered this week at SERH's vaccination clinic on Tuesday and Thursday and will again be administered on Saturday, January 15.
The capacity of vaccinations for children on each day, meaning the number of vials and appointments available on each of those days, is 330 Pfizer doses.
The SNSWLHD said that appointments have been full all week, meaning 990 doses will have been administered by the end of the week.
There are many appointments available again at SERH on Tuesday, January 18 for children's vaccinations.
Adult and children's vaccinations have been separated and run on alternate days to ensure no mix-up between adult and child vials, as the dosages administered are different.
Adult vaccinations and booster appointments have continued to occur at SERH with shots being administered on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday each week.
