Year 12 students in Australia’s capital city Canberra and its surrounds have been told they will have a two-week window from Monday to receive their first COVID-19 vaccination, allowing them to attend final exams in a COVIDSafe environment.

The cohort is being urged to book appointments for the vaccination through a government clinic or their personal GP.
