There is also no delay for those who wish to get a vaccination but are ineligible for a free vaccine. If you don’t qualify for a free vaccine the cost is $35.

The clinic will be outdoor under a gazebo as before so please remember to use sunscreen, sunhat or bring an umbrella depending on the weather. Also a reminder to wear a mask and maintain social distancing.

We will again be running an influenza vaccination clinic on Monday 30 March at 2pm. This will again be at the PathLab side of the Medical Centre and will again run until we run out of vaccines or patients. We still have a reasonable supply of vaccines but have been warned that our next batch may not arrive for a week or two. At this stage we are still only able to offer vaccination to those eligible for funded vaccines.

Please remember to space at least 2m apart, bring a sunhat/sunscreen/umbrella and wear sleeves that can be easily lifted to expose the upper arm so that we can administer the immunisation without delay.
