South Australia is to make the COVID-19 Pfizer vaccination available to all residents aged over 12 years, including those above 60.
Premier Steven Marshall confirmed the move in a social media post on Saturday, with SA becoming the second Australian jurisdiction, after the Northern Territory, to offer over-60s the Pfizer jab.
"From Monday, children aged 12 to 15 and people aged 60 and over will be able to book in for Pfizer vaccinations at state-run clinics," Mr Marshall posted on his Facebook page.
"It's part of our plan to accelerate our pathway out of the pandemic as we add more than 60,000 new appointments from next week."
Forty per cent of South Australians are fully vaccinated, Mr Marshall added.
A mass vaccination clinic at Adelaide Showground this week doubled its capacity, and further pop-up clinics are being rolled out across the state.
