Flu Vaccine
Mediscreen Would Like to Announce we have received our first Doses of the Flu vaccine. Annual influenza vaccination is the most important measure to prevent influenza and its complications. It is recommended for all people 6 months of age and over.
Influenza vaccination is particularly important for those most at risk, with the need to improve uptake in children under 5, pregnant women and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Free seasonal influenza vaccine is funded under the National Immunisation Program (NIP) for the following groups at higher risk of complications from influenza:
- People aged six months to less than five years (can be given at the same time as childhood vaccines)
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged six months and older
- Pregnant women (can be given at any stage of each pregnancy)
- People aged 65 years and older (a vaccine that is specifically designed to produce a higher immune response is available for this group).
- People aged six months and older with medical conditions putting them at increased risk of severe influenza and its complications.
For those patients that do not meet the NIP requirements for a free Flu vaccine, we do supply the Flu vaccine at the competitive Price of $20.
Please call our receptions staff to book in for your Flu vaccine.
