Each year influenza (flu) vaccine is developed to protect you against the most common strains of flu. The flu vaccine is recommended for any person six months of age and over who wishes to reduce the likelihood of becoming ill with the flu.
The cost of a private vaccine is $10. Eligible groups such as ages under 5, above 65, pregnant women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and people with certain chronic medical conditions can receive a free government funded vaccine. Please check with our staff for more information.
As a health promotion, we will BULK BILL the consult to administer the flu vaccine (Meaning no gap or out of pocket costs for the administering of the vaccine. However, if the consult involves other medical issues, the usual fee may apply).
