The vaccine rollout has been confusing to say the least.

But if the current outbreak and lockdowns have shown us anything it is that getting vaccinated, along with maintaining contact tracing and hygiene practices, is key to keeping our communities safe and open.

The vaccine rollout looks a little different in each state, which can be confusing, so we’ve checked the details for you.

When is it my turn?

Now! In South Australia, the vaccine rollout currently includes everyone aged 12 years & over!

How and where do I book?

No matter where you are in SA vaccine bookings are done online through SA Health here. The system will find you a first and second dose appointment.

Year 11 and 12 students can get priority access for COVID-19 vaccination at SA Health COVID-19 vaccination clinics during September, allowing you to be fully vaccinated before you finish school.

If you are in Year 11 or 12, you can walk in at the following SA Health COVID-19 vaccination clinics without an appointment by showing your student ID:

If you are on Kangaroo Island, book your jab by calling 0468 576 150 (Monday to Friday, 8.00 am to 4.00 pm). This clinic also takes walk-ins. Please note that the last day to receive a first dose Pfizer vaccine on KI is 18 September 2021 (2 October 2021 for Astrazeneca). More info on vaccines on KI here.

If you have any issues call the SA COVID-19 Information Line on 1800 253 787.

I qualify for the rollout now, if I book in what vaccine will I get?

If you’re 12-17 years old you’ll be getting Pfizer or Moderna, depending on your preference and where you book in. Moderna is now available in participating pharmacies, while Pfizer is available at vaccine clinics

If you are 18 years old or over you are eligible for Pfizer or Moderna, but you can get AstraZeneca if you want to.

Not all GP clinics have access to Pfizer vaccines, so it’s important you check with the clinic prior to booking, or choose a clinic from the list here. The closest clinic to you might not have the vaccine you’re getting but the booking system will find you an appointment somewhere that does.
