Council administers a comprehensive immunisation program for infants, children and adults, including secondary school children through our School Immunisation program.
All eligible children can receive vaccinations on the Australian Standard Vaccination Schedule free of charge, through Council Immunisation sessions. Appointments are not necessary at these sessions but you must bring along the child’s health record book and Medicare card. You will need to stay for 15 minutes after vaccination, to allow for observation.
Supplementary pneumococcal vaccine for one and two year olds is now available at all Council Immunisation sessions throughout the region, until 30 September 2012.
Free whooping cough vaccine is available for parents of newborn babies and partners of pregnant women until 30 June 2012.
Whooping cough, Hepatitis B and flu vaccines are also available through Council immunisation sessions, at a cost. Visits to workplaces also occur throughout the year to supply these vaccines to staff. For more information or to book a visit contact Council.
