Stay Up To Date With Your Vaccinations
Our Medical centres offer the latest vaccinations, including the COVID-19 vaccine, Pneumococcal vaccine, and Shingles vaccine, so you and your loved ones can stay safe.
About the COVID-19 XBB 1.5 Vaccine
The new XBB 1.5 COVID-19 Vaccine targets and provides protection against the latest COVID-19 strain circulating throughout the Australian community.
The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) encourages those who have not received their recommended dose/s to receive the XBB 1.5 vaccine at this time as there has been an increase in COVID-19 cases throughout Australia since late last year.
First and second doses are also available for those who have not yet received their COVID-19 vaccination and wish to do so.
