Victoria Police are leading the operation and the management of those issues, I can confirm we have 2,700 vaccinations booked in at Jeff shed and the Royal Exhibition Building for Saturday. People coming for those vaccinations will be able to cross police checkpoints with evidence of their appointment.
So please either online evidence or print it off at home and use that. We are not, of course, taking any more bookings for vaccinations at Jeff shed or the REB for that particular day so only those currently booked in. If you do not intend to attend for that vaccination appointment, that’s fine. There are alternative appointments available on other days.
We’d appreciate it if you could go online or give us a call and make those changes now so we don’t have staff standing around waiting for you to come forward.
Given the logistical management for Vic Police and transport partners tomorrow anyway, we won’t start arranging additional transport shuffles for people. There are alternative appointments available at those locations on other days or in other 55 clinics across the stay.
If you live locally and it’s the nearest centre for you and you can walk there, please carry on and do that. If you’d rather not come in for your appointment, that’s fine. Make an appointment for a Sunday or Monday next week or another day. There are appointments available.
