An annual flu vaccine can prevent influenza and its complications and is recommended for everyone aged 6 months and over. We are now being supplied with limited influenza (flu) vaccinations in the clinic.
The influenza vaccine is free under the National Immunisation Program for:
- People aged 65 years and over
- Children aged between 6 months and 5 years old
- Pregnant women (at any stage of pregnancy)
- Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people
- People who have certain medical conditions
To check if you are eligible for a free vaccination, book in to see one of our doctors or nurses who can check, or provide you with a vaccination prescription if you do not meet the criteria. Please check with the clinic before you book an appointment to ensure we have stock available.
