Many states in Australia have introduced week-long vaccination pop up clinics for 5-year-olds and older as part of the “Back to School Vaccination Blitz” as most schools reopen on Jan. 31.

Both Victoria and South Australia (SA) have set up vaccination walk-in hubs to boost the vaccination take-up rate across the country, which is currently sitting at 39.8 percent.
