Executive Director’s Update to Principals #78: COVID Update - 13 Sep 2021

  • COVID Update
  • Operational Guidance for GAT Delivery

God of the one and God of the whole,
be with those who are working from home today and those whose work keeps them from home.
Be with those who won’t go beyond the front veranda, and those who stay on the front line.
Be with those who must choose between
doing a job they know they can do
and being the parent only they can be.
May we each in our private worry
hear your universal call
to come, to lay down heavy burdens,
and find a welcome rest.
And then with our burdens lightened,
may we help to hold the whole.
Amen.

COVID-19 Vaccinations for Children Aged 12 and Over

The following information is from the coronavirus.vic.gov.au website: 

Children 12 and over can get a COVID-19 vaccine

Free and safe COVID-19 vaccines are currently available for everyone aged 12 years and over.

People who turn 12 during the COVID-19 vaccine rollout will be able to get vaccinated if they meet criteria for vaccination at that time.

Read more about  who can get vaccinated.

Learn more about COVID-19 vaccines.

Providing consent for children

Anyone who gets vaccinated must provide appropriate consent. Consent can be provided verbally.

  • People aged 12 - 17 may provide their own consent, if deemed to be a mature minor by a senior and experienced immuniser. That means that the health professional assesses that you understand the information relevant to the decision to be vaccinated and the effect of that decision.
  • A child’s parent or guardian can attend the vaccine appointment with them.

How to book a COVID-19 vaccine

You must book a vaccine appointment for your child.

For COVIDSafe reasons, only one parent or guardian can attend a vaccination appointment with a child.

Follow the checklist: before your vaccination to make sure you prepare for your child’s vaccine appointment.
