Good Afternoon folks. Let's talk Vaccines and Vaccinations.
You have no doubt heard on the radio and TV about Influenza, RSV and Japanese Encephalitis.
We still have Flu vaccines available, including Flumist for children aged 24 months to 17 years. Depending on your circumstances you may qualify for a free vaccine. Vaccines are free for Children from 6 months to 5 years, Adults over 65, Aboriginal people from 6 months and those people with At Risk Conditions. If you are unsure whether you qualify for a free vaccine - call us, we can tell you quickly.
RSV. As you know RSV was a significant cause of death in our population a couple of years ago. It will strike the elderly and the young hardest.
Beyfortus is available for children under 24 months.
Abrysvo is available for pregnant women at 28 weeks of pregnancy.
Arexvy is available for Adults 75 years of age and over, and for Aboriginal people at 60 years of age and over.
These are all free.
For those with medical risk conditions, they are available privately based on clinical decision.
Japanese Encephalitis - JEV. Our Local Government Area is one of many throughout NSW that has guaranteed the residents access to free vaccines. If you live in the Liverpool Plains, or work, play or visit, you are eligible for a free JEV vaccine.
We have all these vaccines available at Quirindi Health Centre. If you wish to take advantage of this offer, or have questions, please call us to make an appointment with our Doctors.
Stay Safe and Warm.
Remember, if you have an Emergency, Ring 000
