Don't miss tomorrow's edition of The Border Mail for your free Vax-The-Nation poster.

To date more than 12 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in Australia.

As the national vaccine roll-out continues to expand, The Border Mail is encouraging readers to show their support for increased COVID-19 vaccination in our community.

Your free Vax-The-Nation poster features a striking illustration by Walkley Award-winning cartoonist David Pope, whose editorial cartoons appear in The Canberra Times and other Australian Community Media newspapers.

In June ACM, the publisher of this masthead, launched its national Vax-The-Nation campaign on the front pages of its 14 daily newspapers serving the national capital and key regional population centres across NSW, Victoria and Tasmania.

Readers were urged to roll up their sleeves and get with the program - the vaccination program - by booking in to get the jab.

Tomorrow's gloss poster, printed with the support of the Australian Government's Department of Health, urges Australians to arm themselves by booking their COVID-19 vaccination today.

The Border Mail is asking readers to show their support for a safer, stronger Border community by displaying your Vax-The-Nation poster in the shopfront window of your business or on the noticeboard in the lunchroom at your workplace, or in your front window at home..

If you are aged 40 years or over you are eligible for vaccination.

If you are aged 16 to 39 years you may be eligible for vaccination.

The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) recommends the COVID-19 Comirnaty (Pfizer) vaccine as the preferred vaccine for those aged 16 to 59 years.

However, the AstraZeneca vaccine can be provided to people aged 18 to 59 years of age.
