Flu vaccine
We recommended a yearly flu vaccine for everyone aged 6 months and over.
Meningococcal B vaccine
Give children under 2 a dose of Paracetamol 30 minutes before they are vaccinated for Meningococcal B, or as soon as possible afterwards. This offsets the common side effect of fever after the vaccination.
Payment
You can pay for your vaccinations by EFTPOS or credit card at the immunisation session.
We don't accept cash, cheques, American Express or Diners Club cards.
Some private health funds will provide refunds for vaccinations. We will give you a receipt to make your claim.
Non-Medicare cardholders are charged the same amount for these optional vaccines.
Please note: the Victorian Government's Better Health Channel website has fact sheets on diseases and their vaccines. We don't offer vaccinations for travel purposes. You can contact the Travel Clinics Australia information hotline on 1300 369 359.
