What if I’m not fully vaccinated at the 70% target?

Unvaccinated people, or those who have only received one vaccine dose will not be able to do everything a fully vaccinated person can do, you will not be able to:

• visit friends or family in their homes
• access non-critical retail
• attend weddings with more than 5 guests
• go back to some workplaces
• go out to pubs, or visit other premises which are open only to vaccinated customers.

You can search by location to see the restrictions for where you live.

Protect yourself and your loved ones by booking your vaccination appointment as soon as possible.

How to show you’re vaccinated

You will need to show proof that you’re vaccinated when you check in to businesses.

You can get your proof of vaccination from:

• the Express Plus Medicare mobile app
• your Medicare online account through myGov
• MyHealth Record
• Australian Immunisation Register (printed copy only)
• the Service NSW app (coming soon)

If you are unable to be vaccinated because of a medical contraindication (which means a person should not receive a certain medicine because it may be harmful to them), you will need to get a medical exemption form signed by your doctor and carry it with you.
