Due to the current covid-19 infection situation in NSW, the Government strongly encourages all the residents to spurs on the vaccination.
If you are a 16-39 year-old with an underlying medical condition, you will be able to get the Pfizer vaccine.
Vaccination is proactively recommended for those who have diabetes, high blood pressure, or hepatitis. Thus, those who have such underlying diseases are exposed to a higher risk of contracting COVID-19.
According to the health guidelines of the Australian Health Authority, persons with an underlying disease are included in the priority lists for vaccination.
