The NSW Government’s successful ‘Let’s Do This’ advertising campaign is expanding to encourage everyone 16 years and older to get their COVID-19 booster shot.
Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the updated campaign will reinforce the importance of getting a COVID-19 booster to reduce the risk of severe illness and to help protect communities.
“This campaign celebrates the resilience and strength of the NSW community and encourages everyone aged 16 years and older to get their booster shot three months after their second dose,” Mr Singh said.
“NSW has one of highest vaccination rates in the world, but ensuring everyone gets their booster is key to strengthening our protection against variants like Omicron, keeping people safe and enjoying more of the things we love.
“Go out, get that third shot as soon as you’re eligible and protect yourself, your family and your friends.”
Mr Singh reminded people of the importance of a booster, regardless of whether they’ve had the virus.
“The fact that you’ve had COVID-19 doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t get it again and the next time you may end up in ICU or worse,” Mr Singh said.
“To be fully vaccinated and have the best protection possible, go and get the booster four to six weeks after recovering from the virus.”
The multi-channel advertising campaign will run in addition to existing COVID safety campaigns, across print, television, radio, outdoor, digital and social media.
Mr Singh said that like the original ‘Let’s Do This’ campaign released in August, this new ad hopes to capture what NSW has been working towards and the importance vaccinations play in getting there.
“It’s been a tough two years but we can’t lose sight of what we’re all aiming for, which is to get everyday life back to as close to normal as possible,” Mr Singh said.
“When you’re eligible, that is the time to get your booster to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and your community.”
Anyone aged five and older can get vaccinated, and booster appointments are available to everyone aged 16 and older. They are available at pharmacies, GPs, Aboriginal Medical Services, and more than 40 NSW Health clinics, as well as outreach and pop-up clinics open across the State.
Anyone with questions about COVID-19 vaccinations should speak to their GP or a pharmacist.
