Some health authorities are rolling out changes to second dose appointments for the COVID vaccine.
Public Health this week announced that second dose vaccination schedules would be stepped up and that second doses will be available sooner than originally planned thanks to improved supply.
Eastern and Central Health have posted the changes to their websites.
People who received their first dose of the vaccine between March 2 and 25 and who were booked for their second dose between July 1 and 15 will keep those appointments.
Those who received their first dose of the vaccine between March 26 and April 15 and were given appointments for their second dose between July 16 to August 5 are now eligible to change their appointment to an earlier date.
