Influenza & CoviD-19 Vaccine clinic

Patient Information:

 

Annual influenza vaccination is the best way to protect against severe disease and complications from influenza. The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) recommends influenza vaccination for all people aged 6 months and over. The vaccine can change from year to year as new strains of influenza appear, which is why it is important to schedule influenza vaccination annually to ensure you are protected. Flu vaccines will be administered free to all patients at Gympie Road Medical Centre as per government recommendations.

 

COVID-19 continues to have a significant impact across the community. The best protection against severe disease is to keep up to date with vaccinations. ATAGI recommends a dose of COVID-19 vaccine for adults aged ≥75 years every 6 months, and a dose of COVID-19 vaccine for adults aged ≥18 - 64 every 12 months. Based on a risk-benefit assessment by your GP, severely immunocompromised individuals may require vaccination more often. Contact your GP for more information.
