Kids vaccinations begin

YOU can always rely on a good canine to keep a child’s mind off other things and they don’t come much better than the Portland District Therapy Dogs, who are doing their bit for the children’s coronavirus vaccination program at Active Health Portland.

SOME of Glenelg Shire’s youngest residents have been putting on their bravest faces as the coronavirus vaccination program is rolled out to their age group – and at Active Health Portland they’re getting plenty of help to make sure the experience is as pleasant as possible.

As the rollout began on Monday for vaccinations for the 5-11 age group, plenty of children have lined up already at the various clinics in the city and it has been no different at Active Health.
