Country & Outback Health CEO, Zieco Skeldon (pictured) received the first of two doses of the COVID-19 vaccination today, doing his part to help ensure the ongoing safety and reduce transmission potential within our communities.

“We are incredibly fortunate in South Australia to have avoided significant periods or lockdown over the past 18 months” Mr Skeldon said. “This has a lot to do with the vigilance and adherence to the health advice provided to us from the Government and exceptional medical experts in our state”. He goes on to say, “While I appreciate that there is some uncertainty and concern regarding the COVID vaccination, it is our best defence against the virus and I encourage all eligible people to speak with their GP and consider getting vaccinated as soon as possible”.
