Pfizer vaccinations for children aged five to 11 have rolled out across the state on Monday, with regional areas having access to the new vaccine from Thursday, January 10.

Acting Chief Acting Chief Executive for Western NSW LHD, Mark Spittal urged parents across the west to start booking children in as the roll-out unfolds this week.

"At vaccination hubs, parents and carers will need to book ahead for children's vaccines, and to make life a bit easier they'll be able to book both the first and second shots for their kids at the same time," Mr Spittal said.

"The Local Health District's vaccination services will play a small but pivotal role in the roll-out of this phase of the vaccination program, including pop-up clinics in smaller areas."

Federal Health Minister, Greg Hunt said three million doses of the childrens' vaccine would be made available during January; with 2.3 million children estimated as eligible for the third-of-the-adult-dose vaccine.
