Health practitioners encouraged to book in for COVID-19 vaccination

18 May 2021

Health practitioners have started receiving emails from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency on behalf of state and territory health departments encouraging them to book in for their COVID-19 vaccination.

The rollout of vaccines is being managed by the Commonwealth, state and territory governments.

Health practitioners can be assured that the email (from thirdpartyemails@ahpra.gov.au) is legitimate and that their personal details have not been shared.

The emails include helpful local information about booking COVID-19 vaccinations. Questions about the email, COVID-19 vaccinations and how to book can be directed to the local health department’s vaccination hotline or email.
