Premier Winde calls on residents to make use of vaccine sites over heritage weekend

As we celebrate Heritage Day over the long weekend, I encourage residents to make use of their vaccine opportunity at any one of our weekend and public holiday sites.

We will have sites in operation tomorrow, 24 September, as well as on Saturday, 25 September. Sites will be operational in the Metro and we will have a site open in a rural district.
