FLU VACCINES AVAILABLE NOW – Please phone 03 3599974 to book an appointment with our Nurse
MMR vaccines are in very limited supply. Since original advice given we have now been advised to prioritise vaccines to the most at risk: Priority 1: Children aged 12 months to 13 years who have never been vaccinated Priority 2: Children and adults aged 14 years to 28 years who have never been vaccinated People born before 1969 are considered very low risk as they would have been infected naturally and are very likely to have immunity. People who have had one dose of MMR are likely to have 95% protection from developing measles.
Influenza vaccine are given in the surgery from later March to December, it is better to get the immunization as early in the season as possible.
Influenza vaccine is subsidized for people who is over 65 years of age, who has heart disease, chronic respiratory disease (such as COPD or asthma), chronic kidney disease, diabetes, active cancer , and who is on immunosuppressant, and who is pregnant at any stages, etc. People can also fund the influenza vaccine themselves , the cost is $30 per injection.
HPV vaccines
HPV vaccines are funded for girls and boys from age 11-27 years. HPV vaccines are effective to minimize risks for genital warts, cervical cancers, anal cancers and oral cancers.
