Pop-up COVID-19 vaccine clinic at Bunnings Warehouse in Wodonga makes solid start

The service's public health unit conducted 15 vaccinations with the commencement of the pop-up clinic on Wednesday.

AWH told The Border Mail last week around 35 per cent of the population eligible to receive a booster shot were yet to come forward.

Retired builder Laelan Knight took the chance to get his booster during a routine trip to the hardware store.
