GOVERNMENT FUNDED FLU VACCINES ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE!
These will arrive mid to late April.
Pharmacies and some medical practices have purchased private stock (which they charge a fee for), however these vaccines are not as effective as some of those available through the government funded programs for FREE.
🔹If you are eligible for a government flu vaccination be patient and wait for the government stock to arrive.
This stock is controlled and supplies by the department of health and is out of our control.
We are currently discussing and planning the safest and most efficient way of providing patients with these vaccines.
🔹If you are not eligible for a government funded vaccination you may contact your doctor for a private script or make an appointment with a pharmacy for your flu shot.
Our clinic currently is not providing the COVID-19. We are hoping the government will release them to us in the coming months.
If you want your COVID-19 vaccine earlier, please click on the link below to see if you are eligible at this point of the rollou and to make a booking.
You can also phone the national helpline on 1800 020 080.
If you wish, our clinic can upload a summary of your health history including past history, allergies and medications to the My Health Record to assist the clinic providing your vaccination.
Please call us on 62728869 if you would like us to upload this information.

A Statement from Dr Pitt...
Dear Patients
It appears the Corona Virus is here to stay for sometime yet.
For your safety, I believe we must introduce an appointment system so that social distancing, safety measures etc can be fulfilled.
This transition commences now.
Please phone the clinic on 6272 8869 during office hours to make an appointment.
I apologise for any inconvenience this may bring in the short term.
Urgent problems on the day will obviously be dealt with as usual.
Regards
Dr Greg Pitt
Is this for Conneware or Amiens
I thought that there was an appointment system to see the doctor already in place...or was I just calling and waiting for a date and time to see my doctor just a waste of my time...?
