COVID-19 Vaccination Program Planning and Partnerships
The WA Department of Health planning is underway for the initial roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccine. The Australian, State and Territory governments, as well as other key stakeholders, are working together to ensure safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines are available to all Australians.

On November 13 2020, the Commonwealth released the Australian COVID-19 Vaccination Policy, outlining the current approach to providing COVID-19 vaccines in Australia. 

The WA Department of Health will send regular vaccine updates as more detailed information becomes available. To keep up to date on the latest COVID-19 news, you may access the following trusted sources for more information:
