SRMG FLU CLINICS HAVE STARTED
We strongly encourage everyone to get vaccinated against influenza, a virus which is responsible for a significant number of hospitalisations and deaths every year.
The following people are eligible for Government funded vaccines (where available):
- persons 65 years or older
- children 6 months to less than 5 years
- primary school-aged children (born after 30 June 2007 and > 5 years)
- pregnant women (any trimester)
- Aboriginal people 6 months and older
- individuals 6 months and older with medical conditions that place them at risk for complications of influenza, including:
- cardiac disease
- chronic respiratory conditions
- chronic neurological conditions
- impaired immunity
- diabetes and other metabolic disorders
- renal disease
- haematological disorders
- children aged 6 months to 10 years receiving long-term aspirin therapy.
For those not eligible to receive a government funded vaccine (or when government funded vaccines are not available), our out of pocket expense is $13.50.
Your safety is our number one priority:
We are conducting our flu clinics a bit differently this year with the current COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic. Our flu Clinics are being managed strictly in accordance with Health Department recommendations of social distancing and good hand hygiene, we have also significantly increased our cleaning schedules during clinics. This is being done without compromising our quality of care and we have additional staff present to ensure the smooth running of the clinics.
Please contact the practice on 98459000 or book a flu vaccine appointment online with your GP to get your flu shot.
