The Western Australian (WA) government is urging students to roll up their sleeves and receive a COVID-19 vaccination ahead of Term 4 as children aged 12 and over have been given the green light to receive the Moderna vaccine.

“Having access to the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine in selected pharmacies provides another option for Western Australians to get the jab,” WA Health Minister Roger Cook said.
