Immunisation services

We offer free vaccinations to help reduce the spread of infectious diseases in our community.

Babies, children, some adults and special risk groups receive some vaccines for free.

Find out more about who is eligible on the VicHealth site.

Meningococcal B (Bexsero)

Meningococcal B vaccine is available for $155 at all of our public immunisation sessions for babies from 6 weeks of age. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children under 2 are funded to receive this vaccine.

Children under 2 should have paracetamol 30 minutes before receiving any dose (or as soon as possible after) due to the high risk of fever.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)

From 3 February 2025, as part of the National Immunisation Program, the RSV vaccine Abrysvo® is available for eligible pregnant women.

The vaccine is recommended between 28-36 weeks of pregnancy to protect your newborn baby from RSV, through the passing of antibodies from mother. More information is available at Better Health Channel. Please call us on 9457 9964 for further information as we only have a limited supply of this vaccine.
