Flu Vaccinations
Our Government funded stock of flu immunisations for patients over 65, vulnerable patients under 65, and children has arrived!
What you need to know:
• This is the usual annual release aimed at protecting vulnerable patients who are deemed likely to suffer an adverse event should they develop seasonal flu.
• Vulnerable patients are defined as:
⁎ Adults and high school children with serious chronic diseases e.g. heart disease, asthma, diabetes, COPD, cancer, immune deficiency, chronic kidney disease, autoimmune disease (amongst others); as well as pregnant women, ATSI patients (all ages), and
⁎ ALL children from the age of 6 months up until the end of primary school.
• We will be supplying the service at no cost to you.
• Eligible children i.e. children aged 6 months up until the end of primary school, and children younger than 18 years who are considered vulnerable, will be immunised through an immunisation consultation in our treatment room during normal consulting hours (this does not include a doctors room consultation - if your child needs to see their doctor for a consultation as well you will need to inform reception when you make the appointment).
Please call the practice to book an appointment-(08) 9535 3244 (during practice hours).
