To combat the almost month-long wait at Calvary, the ACT government will open the facility seven days a week from June 7.

But in the meantime, ACT Health Minister Rachel Stephen-Smith said Canberrans should contact their general practitioners to receive a vaccine.

"The clinic was set up to supplement the Commonwealth government's AstraZeneca program, being delivered through general practices in the ACT," Ms Stephen-Smith said.

"GPs have received more supply and many do have appointments, I encourage people to consider contacting a Commonwealth registered GP to receive their vaccine.

"GPs are well prepared and trained to administer the COVID-19 vaccine and best placed to speak to any person who has a concern about their individual health circumstances."

The Calvary centre has been vaccinating 200 people a day but it's also had long waiting times. On Thursday, people were unable to book an appointment until July 3.

The Calvary vaccination hub is one of two that has been set up by the ACT government. The other is at the Garran Surge Centre. Calvary administers the AstraZeneca vaccine to people over 50 and Pfizer is administered at Garran.

There are bookings available for eligible groups at Garran. Several GPs have also got appointments, including availability this weekend.

There has been a renewed push for Canberrans to get vaccinated following an outbreak in Melbourne, which has plunged Victoria into a seven-day circuit breaker lockdown.

While Victoria is in its seven-day lockdown, stay-at-home orders apply to all Canberrans who have travelled from the state since Friday. Non-ACT residents leaving Victoria are banned from entering the territory unless they have an exemption.

Under the orders, those who have arrived from Victoria have to sign an online declaration form. Ms Stephen-Smith said that as of Friday morning 7500 people had completed the declaration.

The ACT has also opened a designated vaccination clinic for people with disabilities at the Garran centre. The clinic will be opened on Tuesday morning from 8am to 12pm and Thursday afternoon from 2pm to 5pm.

The clinic is opened for people with a disability and their support staff. It will have longer appointment times, a separate entrance and an accessible entry point for wheelchairs and other mobility equipment.

The move was welcomed by ACT Council of Social Services chief executive Dr Emma Campbell.

"We appreciate the ACT Government stepping in to improve vaccination access for Canberrans with a disability, and their consultation with ACTCOSS and members and representatives of disability advocacy organisations," Dr Campbell said.
