You may remember that in our last SCEA News (21 January 2022), we highlighted the WA Premier Mark McGowan’s press conference comments made on December 23. He introduced another vaccination mandate – a third ‘booster’ shot to complement the two vaccinations.
Based on the WA Government Health directions, as of 31 January 2022, all Western Australian adults are eligible to receive their third dose – three months after receiving their second dose. The WA Government has mandated all education workers (including those from SCEA) to have their third dose within one calendar month of the date that they first became eligible to receive it or 5 February, whichever is the latest.
It is possible that you may have already had your booster and not yet sent your updated COVID-19 Digital Certificate of Vaccination showing all three vaccinations to SCEA’s Human Resources Department.
If this is the case, please send it through as soon as possible.
If you have not had your booster shot, please secure a booking as soon as possible to comply with the mandate.
Your updated COVID 19 Digital Certificate of Vaccination should be sent via email to hr@scea.wa.edu.au once you have had your third vaccination.
