St. Eleftherios in Brunswick will follow suit in offering COVID-19 vaccinations from October 27.

It’s a key part of the Greek Community of Melbourne’s campaign with the Victorian Government to “target local communities”.

It comes as the state recorded an all-time high of 2,297 new COVID-19 cases and 11 deaths on Wednesday.
