We advise all patients to have the influenza vaccination annually, unless there is a medical reason that prevents this, such as previous allergy to the influenza vaccination.

The following people are eligible for a FREE influenza vaccine:

• all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 6 months and over
• all children aged 6 months to less than 5 years of age
• pregnant women (at any stage of pregnancy)
• people aged 65 years and over (vaccine that is specifically designed to produce a higher immune response is available for this group)
• all individuals aged 5 years and over with serious health conditions such as diabetes, cancer, immune disorders, severe asthma, kidney, heart or lung disease

We hold vaccination clinics for adults eligible for the free vaccine and you can book an appointment online here.

Please phone the practice to book an appointment for your children.

For those who are ineligible for a free vaccination, please phone the practice for an appointment. There will be no out-of-pocket cost for the consultation other than $20 for the vaccine.
