Twenty secondary schools are hosting pop up COVID-19 vaccination clinics for the school and wider community in November and December 2021.

There are a range of schools where you can get vaccinated. Please visit sahealth.sa.gov.au for locations, dates and times.

It is the department’s position that all eligible children and young people (unless medically contraindicated) should have access to and receive the COVID-19 vaccination. As the guardian of children and young people in care, the department gives its consent for all children and young people under guardianship of the Chief Executive to be vaccinated  if they are eligible for it.

Young people over the age of 16 years can make decisions about their own medical treatment.  To help them make an informed choice about vaccinations, case workers and carers should ensure young people have access to age-appropriate information about being vaccinated and the benefits of a COVID-19 vaccination.

Children 12 to 15 years must be accompanied by their caregiver.

The pop up clinics will be open from 9.00am to 4.00pm. No appointment is necessary.
