IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT OUR COVID-19 VACCINATION CLINICS

When you attend our practice for your COVID-19 Vaccination, you will be assessed by one of our GPs, and then one of our nurses will administer the vaccine

​

  • PLEASE NOTE, the COVID-19 Vaccination appointments are for COVID-19 vaccinations only – i.e. there won’t be an opportunity for any other health matters to be addressed during your COVID-19 vaccination appointment.

  • Fees may apply if appointments are cancelled, or if patients do not attend their scheduled visit without 2 hours’ notice (we’re trying to ensure we don’t have any wasted doses)

  • Due to the number of patients attending the vaccination clinics, waiting room chairs are limited and reserved for patients only. Please only attend by yourself whenever possible.

COVID-19 VACCINATION EXEMPTIONS: 

​

Please note there are only a limited number of medical conditions which would qualify a person for either a temporary or permanent COVID-19 Vaccination exemption. Our GPs and nurses CANNOT issue exemptions for people who do not have a confirmed reason for an exemption. 

​

Reasons for a permanent medical exemption are limited to the following:

  • Anaphylaxis (a type of severe allergic reaction) to a previous dose of all COVID-19  vaccine types.

  • Anaphylaxis after exposure to any component of the vaccine, including polysorbate 80 for AstraZeneca, & polyethylene glycol (PEG) for Pfizer and Moderna.

  • Any other serious adverse event, that following review by an experienced immunisation provider/medical specialist was attributed to a previous dose of both a AstraZeneca vaccine and Pfizer/Moderna vaccine (and without another cause identified).

  • History of capillary leak syndrome [AstraZeneca Only]

  • TTS occurring after a previous dose of the vaccine [AstraZeneca Only]
