Thomastown Secondary College is hosting a pop-up COVID-19 vaccination clinic where the local community can get vaccinated.
The clinic is providing first and second dose vaccinations.
You can walk in to get vaccinated, or you can make a booking at portal.cvms.vic.gov.au.
At Hope Street we encourage and support our staff and clients to get the COVID-19 vaccination.
