With the Indigenous vaccination rate against COVID-19 lagging, one Indigenous health group was worried the message was falling on deaf ears. So, they came up with their own: take your shot. Karinda Taylor is the CEO of First People’s Health & Wellbeing and joins us.

There are two Aboriginal people in hospital in Vic with this virus right now.

We're testing Mon-Fri in Thomastown and book out quickly. Please tell our team if you are a current FPHW patient or Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander. We will see you that day for a test.

Why would @VicGovDHHS insist that Melb Path use VIDRL for priority results? Melb path turn around 48 hours. VIDRL delayed to 6 days for our most urgent patients. Unacceptable. @VictorianCHO @VicGovDHHS @JennyMikakos @rwillingham @SebCostello9

If you went to the protest, please book online on our COVID-19 site for a test. This service is free for all Aboriginal people and non-Aboriginal allies.

We recommend booking from Thursday on, due to the time it can take for COVID to show up on a test.
