__________________________________________________________________

Thank you to all those who attended the clinic last week.  For those not yet vaccinated the dedicated COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic will be set up for the third week this Friday 16th July at Calvary Ryde Retirement Community for all Calvary employees living in the Greater Sydney region to book in for their COVID-19 vaccination over the next week (with follow up vaccinations in the following three weeks). The Clinic will be managed by St Vincent’s Hospital, who will be administering the Pfizer vaccine.
 
Given the current pressures on the national COVID-19 vaccination program, the COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic will help us fast-track access to vaccinations for our frontline Retirement Community, Community Care and Kogarah teams, as well as national office staff and our Ryde residents.

Under the current lockdown restrictions, people are permitted to leave their homes to get the COVID-19 vaccine, and we encourage those of you who have not yet been vaccinated to take advantage of the clinic, which is only available to Calvary employees and our Ryde residents. 
 
When

• The third clinic will be this Friday 16th July from 11am to 3pm and every Friday after that for the next 3 weeks. This week will be the final clinic for the first vaccination and then you follow up booking in three weeks for the second
• Bookings are essential to ensure sufficient vaccine is available and to minimise disruption on the Calvary Ryde campus.
