COVID-19 Vaccine Information
19/02/2021
South Australians have all played their part to manage the COVID-19 pandemic in our state.
Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the next thing we all need to do to protect ourselves and the South Australian community.
The COVID-19 vaccines being used in Australia have been approved by the Australian Government’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and administered under the advice of the COVID-19 Vaccine and Treatments for Australia – Science and Industry Technical Advisory Group and the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI).
The vaccine rollout will take time, and the first vaccines will be given to those who need them the most.
More information about the vaccine, including frequently asked questions, is available at covidvaccine.sa.gov.au.
Be Kind City of NPSP
23/11/2020
These are unprecedented and challenging times in many different ways. And the challenges are different for everyone.
In times of adversity, one way we can cope is to come together as a community and show a little kindness. Be kind to others, be kind to those in need and be kind to yourself.
Keep reading for more tips on how to Be Kind City of NPSP.
Be kind to yourself
Take a break, get outside and be among nature. Enjoy fresh air, a quiet moment, or turn up the volume of your favourite Spotify playlist. Have a virtual coffee date with a friend, potter in your garden, chat over the fence with your neighbour. Lay under the warm wintery sun in your backyard and soak up some vitamin D. Do something every day that makes you smile!
How to be kind to yourself in NPSP:
- get out and about on two wheels and take in the autumn hues on your bicycle
- there's plenty of on and off-road cycling paths to follow
- take a walk in one of our beautiful parks
- explore some art installations by following the public art trail
- there's plenty of heritage walks and trails to follow so you can learn while you exercise!
- all doggos are no doubt enjoying the extra walks so why not take advantage of our off-leash dog areas.
Be kind to others
We know that some people might be feeling a little alone right now; many are feeling the isolation that COVID-19 has forced upon us. With that in mind, there’s no time like the present to show some neighbourly love. By calling over the fence, knocking on a neighbour’s door or checking in over the phone, we can make sure that every household maintains some much needed social interaction.
How to be kind to others:
- smile
- check in on an elderly neighbour
- find the time to make two calls (not texts!) a day to people you love
- do a grocery shop for someone who can’t
- ask the person who’s serving you how their day is going—and listen to their response
- drop off a home-cooked meal to someone doing it tough
- be a good listener
- treat the kids to a movie night at home
- cook a special meal together.
