COVID-19 SERVICES
Protect you and your family from COVID-19
Our priority is to safeguard the health and wellbeing of the community. We lead with our purpose – working together to create healthier communities.
The COVID-19 vaccine is the best way to protect you and your family to stop the spread of the virus. Getting the vaccine also means you reduce your risk of complications and a better chance of recovery.
The Australian Technical Advisory Group of Immunisation (ATAGI) and the Commonwealth Department of Health have advised that the flu vaccine can be given before, after or with a COVID-19 vaccine.
Our vaccinating pharmacist will be administering Pfizer booster.
Vaccines will be administered after obtaining full informed consent with the discussion of risks and benefits of the vaccination in accordance to up-to-date information from ATAGI and the TGA and without a precaution or contraindication to a COVID-19 vaccination.

The pre-screening form will be sent to your email around 24 hours before your appointment.
Please do not come to your vaccination appointment:
- if you are feeling unwell with fever, cough, runny nose or other symptoms that could be from COVID-19
- if you are waiting for COVID-19 test results, or have tested positive for COVID-19
- if you are a close contact of someone with COVID-19, or
if you are in quarantine.

COVID-19 Vaccine FAQ
The vaccine protects not only you and your family but people with disabilities or those at high risk of becoming very sick from the virus. It protects the community from the spread of the virus and serious and life-threatening complications associated with the virus.
The vaccine roll out is divided into phases/groups depending on supply and uptake. The high risk groups were given first priority since the roll out earlier this year and certain groups are now eligible.
To find out when you can receive your vaccine, visit the Vaccine Eligibility Checker website:
- General practices that meet specific requirements
- Aboriginal Controlled Community Health Services
- State-run vaccination clinics
- Pharmacies (in certain rural settings and other states).
NSW pharmacies will soon be available to provide the vaccination. Please register your interest and we will contact you when the service becomes available. Otherwise to check your eligibility and locations, visit:
https://covid-vaccine.healthdirect.gov.au/eligibility.
Providers must all undergo specific covid-19 training before vaccinating.
The vaccine is free to call Australian citizens, permanent residents and most visa-holders as per the Australian Government’s COVID-19 Vaccination Policy.
It is not compulsory.
The official recommendation from the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) is:
- The flu vaccine can be given before, after or with a COVID-19. It is shown to be safe and effective when given together.
- COVID-19 vaccines can be co-administered with other vaccines if required. However, there is limited evidence of the safety and effectiveness of co-administering COVID-19 vaccines at the same time as other vaccines.
The TGA has strict standards for reviewing possible COVID-19 vaccines. They only approve vaccines that prove to be safe and effective.
The TGA will continue to check every batch of the vaccines for quality and watch out for any adverse events after the vaccination.
For more information about side effects and what to expect after your vaccination, go to:
No. None of the vaccines currently approved in Australia contain a live virus that can cause COVID-19 vaccine. It cannot make you sick with COVID-19.
RANZCOG and ATAGI recommend that pregnant women are routinely offered the PFIZER or MODERNA COVID-19 vaccine at any stage of pregnancy. This is because the risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19 is significantly higher for pregnant women and their unborn baby. Talk to your doctor for more information and to discuss the timing of the vaccination with any other vaccines you may require.
For more information, go to:
All people in Australia aged 5 and over are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. The TGA has provisionally approved the use of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for ages 5-11 years (at a smaller dose) and Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine for adolescents aged 6 to 11 years.
Please note, our pharmacy will not be able to vaccinate this age group.
Our pharmacists undertake significant accredited vaccination training approved by the government to deliver important health services to improve and support the health of all Australians including first aid training.
