Please rest assured that we will be acquiring enough stock for everyone and will start administering them as soon as we can....

I will keep everyone updated on this progress. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions whatsoever. Thank you for your ongoing patience. Stay safe, Arnie =)

20.01.2022 **FLU VACCINATIONS 2020** Dear Customers, Just an update on our influenza vaccinations for this year. ... We currently have vaccines AVAILABLE to administer at the pharmacy. Due to higher demands this year, we are currently experiencing a limited supply to this year's Influenza vaccine from our suppliers. As a result of this as well precaution measures relating to COVID-19, we kindly ask everyone to please book ahead to secure a time and spot for all vaccinations this year. We will further provide safety instructions for all appointments upon booking. We will endeavour to secure enough vaccines for all our local residents and provide you with updates on the situation as they come.

19.01.2022 Our priority is still the health and wellbeing of our residents as we work together to manage COVID-19. The limitations in medical, ambulance and pharmacy in Ro...be are still the same as when we started on this journey back in late February. The State Government restrictions for social distancing, gatherings limited to 10 people and no more than one person per four square meters are all still in force. Whilst we are all receiving many messages from the media and those around us, please note the best source of information can be found on www.covid-19.sa.gov.au. The current advice from the State Government notes that while there are no restrictions on travel within South Australia, any non-essential travel within the state is still discouraged. The key message from our Premier is the more of us that have the COVIDSafe App, the closer we are to the early lifting of some restrictions. It is simple to do and only takes a minute to download. It is a tool to protect you and those around you. National Cabinet will meet on Friday 8 May to look at easing COVID-19 restrictions and any outcomes will be consider by our State Government in the interest of South Australians. We will keep you updated on any information that we receive following the National Cabinet meeting on Friday. We are continuing our work on a recovery plan which will give us some direction as we move out of restrictions. This is a work in progress. Council will be having a workshop (limited to 10) and will organise a community Zoom meeting in the near future. Details to follow. Please feel free to contact me on 0427 357 243 if you wish to discuss anything further. -- Alison

18.01.2022 Wearing a face mask provides an additional physical barrier, and helps to slow the spread of COVID-19. . How to put a mask on: 1 Wash and dry (or sanitis...e) your hands. 2 Take your clean, unused mask by the ear loops or strings. 3 Put them over your ears or tie them behind your head. 4 Make sure your mask is completely covering your nose, mouth and chin. . Don’t touch or adjust the front of your mask while wearing it it’s the part that’s protecting you from COVID-19. If you do touch it by accident, wash or sanitise your hands right away. . How to take a mask off: 1 Wash and dry (or sanitise) your hands. 2 Do not touch the front of your mask while removing it. Use only the ear loops or strings. 3 Store cloth face masks in a plastic bag until you have an opportunity to wash them. When disposing single-use surgical face masks, place in a bag or lined bin. Do not put masks into the recycling bin. 4 Wash and dry (or sanitise) your hands. . To learn more about face masks: www.sahealth.sa.gov.au/COVIDmasks
