Ernie Dingo has been hit with thousands of vile threats after he stepped in to help #GetVaccinated rates up in a state that’s lagging behind.

EG : In Port Hedland, only 21.7 per cent of Indigenous Australians over the age of 15 are fully vaccinated

A pop-up COVID-19 vaccination clinic is visiting the Multicultural Festival this Sunday.

Trained medical professionals will administer the Pfizer vaccine for anyone 12+.

You’ll find the clinic opposite the main entrance of the Festival in Victoria Square from 10am to 5pm.

The significantly high percentage of mums having children removed due to being victims of Domestic Violence speaks to this. It’s easier to blame rather than protect the vulnerable victim from the in control perpetrator it seems.

[Dr Tracy Westerman AM @TracyWesterman]

Depression & anxiety co-exist in approx 50% of cases
Why?
Anxiety is a high energy state. Intrusive thoughts arm the body based on an imagined threat-a “misfiring” if you will.
Depression is a low energy state.
The 2 states feed off each other making their coexistence sustainable

Effective hand hygiene is one of the most important measures we have in our fight against COVID-19. One of the easiest ways to prevent the spread of infection is with thorough hand-washing for 20 seconds with water and soap.

[Our Health in Our Hands ❤️💛🖤 @NACCHOAustralia]

#COVID19 is not the same as the #flu. It can make you much sicker, and it’s spread more easily between people.

Make sure you get your flu #vaccine, as well as both doses of your COVID-19 vaccine, to be most protected.

Make an appointment to get the vaccine today.
