Flu & Covid Vaccinations Clinics from April 2025
We are running Flu & Adult Covid vaccination clinics from the 1st April, these are 2 separate vaccines that you can have in the same visit. Please note that for the Covid vaccine we are only offering the Adult Covid vaccine (to those that are eligible), we will not have the Pediatric (6mths to 11yrs) Covid vaccination available at these clinics.
Please call us on 473 7248 to make a booking. Please confirm which vaccine(s) you would like at the time of making your booking, as this will help us prepare for the clinic. In general, we will be running clinics on Tuesday mornings, Wednesday mornings and Wednesday afternoons until needed
Fluad Quad as an alternative for over 65’s
For those over 65 years there is an unfunded vaccine available called Fluad Quad, which contains an adjuvant believed to stimulate a stronger response in older people. The cost of this is $55. Please let us know if you would be interested in this rather than the funded flu vaccine. As we can only order in boxes of 10, we will order if the interest is there, so please let us know in advance.
