A record 41,754 appointments were booked on Friday after age eligibility was lowered to 12 and older. The previous record was 26,000 on May 13. Parents are reminded to book the appointment under their child’s name, not their own name. If that parent had already received a first dose, the appointment would be cancelled as second-dose appointments are not currently being accepted.
Young people aged 12 and up are now eligible to book their first-dose appointments. To make the visit as easy as possible, young people aged 12 to 15 can either attend the appointment with a parent, guardian or caregiver, or bring a signed consent form at the time of their appointment.
