Vaccinations We Offer

Influenza (Flu) Vaccine

Annual flu vaccination is recommended for all adults, especially those over 65, pregnant women, and people with chronic health conditions. Protection against seasonal influenza helps prevent illness and reduces the risk of serious complications.

Available annually (March to October recommended)

Shingles Vaccine (Shingrix)

Shingrix is the recommended vaccine for preventing shingles (herpes zoster) and is funded under the National Immunisation Program for eligible age groups. Shingles can cause significant pain and complications, particularly in older adults. Our pharmacists can administer both Shingrix and Zostavax.

Free for eligible ages under NIP

MMR Vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)

The MMR vaccine protects against three serious diseases: measles, mumps, and rubella. It's a crucial part of childhood immunisation but is also available for adults who need protection. We can assess your immunity and provide vaccination if needed.

Available for all ages

Whooping Cough (Pertussis)

Whooping cough vaccination is important for protecting infants and young children from this highly contagious disease. Adult booster doses are also recommended, particularly for those in contact with young children.

Available as part of combination vaccines

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an appointment?

Most vaccinations are available without an appointment. However, for travel vaccinations or if you need multiple vaccines, we recommend calling ahead to ensure we have stock and allow time for consultation.

How long does vaccination take?

The actual vaccination takes just a few minutes. We recommend allowing 15-20 minutes for your visit to allow time for consultation and observation after vaccination.

Are there side effects?

Most people experience no side effects. Some may notice mild tenderness at the injection site, low-grade fever, or slight fatigue. Serious side effects are extremely rare. Our pharmacy staff will discuss this with you and provide aftercare advice.

Can I get multiple vaccines at once?

Yes, multiple vaccines can be given safely on the same visit, typically in different arms. Our pharmacist will advise based on your individual circumstances and immunisation needs.

What if I have medical conditions or take medications?

Let us know about any medical conditions or medications you're taking. Our pharmacy team will assess your suitability for vaccination and ensure you receive safe, appropriate care tailored to your health situation.
