Hi everyone,

We've been getting many enquiries regarding the new regulations for the COVID-19 booster doses.

In short, if you are over 18 years of age and your last vaccine or confirmed infection (whichever was the most recent) was over 6 months ago, you are eligible to get a booster if you want it regardless of the number of prior doses received.

The ATAGI recommendations for a 2023 COVID-19 vaccine booster dose for all age groups as per the table below:

ATAGI advises that a booster dose is not recommended at this time for children and adolescents aged under the age of 18 who do not have any risk factors for severe COVID-19.

If you would like any further information you can give us a call on (03) 9568 1761 or speak to your GP.

For those wanting to get your COVID-19 booster dose at Hughesdale Pharmacy please book using the link below:

Cervical screening involves a simple test to check for human papillomavirus (HPV) – a common infection that causes almost all cervical cancers – before it has the chance to develop into abnormal or cancerous cells.

There are two options for having a Cervical Screening Test. One option is to have a healthcare provider collect your sample from your cervix. The other option is to collect your own sample from your va**na.

If you are unsure about whether you have had the Cervical Screening Test or not, or whether you’re due for your screening, you should speak to your healthcare provider. Early detection could save your life.

If you don’t have a preferred doctor, healthdirect.gov.au can help you find a healthcare provider to book your test with.

From 1 July 2022, the eligibility criteria to access CGM and Flash GM products through the NDSS will be expanded to include all people with type 1 diabetes. From this date, all people with type 1 diabetes will be able to apply for access.

The process to apply for access to subsidised products will depend on whether a person has used CGM or Flash GM technology before (either accessed through the NDSS or directly from a product supplier). For most people, there are a few steps they will need to undertake before they can start purchasing subsidised products.

Information is now available on the NDSS website to provide guidance for people with type 1 diabetes and health professionals.
