COVID-19 Vaccinations for Older Australians

on Wednesday, February 24, 2021

The Department of Health has put together a guide to help older Australians, including those living in residential aged care, make an informed decision about getting the vaccine for COVID-19.

This guide, available here, covers the following:

  • Coronavirus (COVID-19) risks for older people
  • Current known side effects of the Pfizer vaccine
  • Considerations for people close to the end of their life
  • What are the risks of COVID-19 in older people?
  • Has the Pfizer vaccine been tested on older people?
  • What are the benefits of getting a COVID-19 vaccine?

Any person considering getting a vaccine can also choose to talk to their GP or other health professional to help make an informed decision.
