Pop-up vaccination clinics will open at three schools across Whittlesea and Hume this weekend.

The clinics are among 11 new vaccination sites, targeting school communities and local residents.

The clinics will be at Thomastown Secondary College, Elevation Secondary College in Craigieburn and The Lakes College in South Morang.

The sites will administer Pfizer and Astra Zeneca.

Some are taking bookings, but all will accept walk-ups with no appointment

All Victorians aged 12 and over are able to access mRNA vaccines Pfizer and Moderna at fixed, state-run vaccination centres.

Victorians are encouraged to book their COVID-19 vaccination through their local GP or community pharmacy, community health service or state vaccination centre. To find a GP or pharmacy provider and make a booking, visit www.health.gov.au.
