Double vaxxed isn't fully vaxxed.
Book your third COVID shot nowA third shot is your best shot at not catching COVID, spreading COVID, or ending up in hospital.
Each day we hear about the number of new COVID cases here in South Australia.
Behind each number is a real person, and most hadn’t had their third COVID shot. Many thought they were fully protected, not realising that double vaxxed isn’t fully vaxxed.
A third shot is your best shot.
Mark, Intensive Care Doctor, RAH
“Like all vaccines, the effectiveness of the COVID vaccine fades over time. If I can share just
one piece of advice this winter, it’s that a third shot is your best shot at not catching COVID,
spreading COVID, or ending up in hospital.”
My daughter had to call an ambulance.
Joanna, 67, Lightsview
“I thought it would be like the flu, but for me COVID was much, much worse. My daughter
had to call an ambulance because I had such difficulty breathing. I couldn’t do anything for
days…”
It nearly killed me.
Peta, 34, Glenelg
“I used to run half marathons. Then I got COVID. I spent 9 days in hospital, 7 on oxygen, and
my lasting memory is laying in a hospital bed thinking I was going to die. Even though I was
young, healthy and double vaxxed, COVID nearly killed me.”
