COVID-19 Vaccinations
Please phone us to make your vaccination booking – no online booking for vaccinations.
What are some of the potential side effects?
Redness at injection site, nausea, tiredness, headache, muscle pain, chills, fever and joint pain are potential side effects. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any further questions about side effects.
How long will it be between the first and second vaccine doses?
Both the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines need two doses to be effective, with the Pfizer option needing to be given 21 days apart and the AstraZeneca jab (which the majority of people will receive) 4-12 weeks apart.
What about if I am pregnant?
Yes, the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are now routinely recommended for pregnant women, and pregnant women are now a priority population for vaccination. This is a joint recommendation from the Australian Immunisation Technical Advisory Group and the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
When can I expect to receive the vaccine?
You can get the vaccine now if you are 12 years of age or older.
