Additional COVID-19 Information
- If you are on an immunosuppressive medication, pregnant, over 65 years of age or not vaccinated and you contract COVID-19, this should be discussed with the COVID-19 Care at Home Support Line (1800 960 933) . Medications are now available to reduce the likelihood of contracted COVID-19 becoming serious, but need to be given early so please do not delay contacting NSW Health. This may require hospital assessment.
- If you contract COVID-19 and are having severe headaches or dizziness, difficulty breathing or have pain in your chest, call Triple Zero (000) straight away and tell the ambulance staff that you have been diagnosed with COVID-19.
- Of particular note, in patients who are immunocompromised, including those who take medications for conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS), myasthaenia gravis (MG) & chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), are recommended to have three primary vaccination doses plus a fourth dose booster, ideally at ~3 months after the third primary dose.
