Flu Vaccine Information
Flu vaccines are now available for all age groups.
Getting a flu shot is the most important measure to prevent influenza and its complications.
An annual flu shot is recommended for all people aged 6 months and over.
This year the flu vaccine will be administered in a normal consultation with your GP.
We will not be taking names for waiting lists or running flu vaccine clinics.
PLEASE NOTE: There must be at least 14 days in between having a flu vaccine and a Covid-19 vaccine.
Who can get a flu shot for free?
If you are over 65 and eligible for a government vaccine, please ensure to book at our surgery with one of our GP's to receive the correct vaccine for your age group, to be supervised in the event of an adverse reaction and to have the vaccine documented in your patient file.
If you are not eligible for a government-funded free vaccine, the cost of the vaccine is $20.
Brief appointments solely for the purpose of receiving a flu vaccine are usually bulk-billed. If your doctor addresses other issues in the same appointment you will be charged our usual fee.
