Pop-up child vaccination clinics
COVID-19 vaccination pop-ups for kids - or 'K-pops' - will be available from 12 February at some of Victoria's most fun venues to support vulnerable children or those living with a disability to get vaccinated.
Scienceworks, Melbourne Zoo and Sealife Aquarium are among the venues hosting the invitation-only K-pops, with the Department of Health and the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing identifying children with potential access issues. Invitees will include children from out-of-home care, living with a disability or in contact with specialist services.
