Four school pop-up vaccine hubs will be in operation in Brimbank this week.

The state government is rolling out 30 pop-up vaccination clinics at primary schools across the state. The pop-ups will be open to all children aged 5 to 11, not just those attending the school hosting the clinic.

Five of those sites are set to be in Brimbank.

Dates and times have been confirmed with four of those hubs.

The hubs at Glengala and St Albans East primary schools will be running on January 29 and 30 between 9am and 5pm.

While the Cairnlea Park and Movelle primary school sites will be open January 29 and 30 between 8am and 3pm.

Vaccinations are open to children between five and 11 wanting to get their first dose, anyone aged 12 and older who want to get their first or second dose and anyone eligible to receive their third dose.

Anyone who has recently had COVID-19 can receive a vaccination as soon as they have recovered.

The clinics are taking bookings along with walk ins.
