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 disease is a rare but serious illness. It can affect all age groups but is more common in young children, adolescents and young adults.
Free meningococcal ACWY vaccine is available for infants at 12 months of age and students in year 10 of secondary school. Catch-up vaccination is also available for young people under the age of 20.
Meningococcal B vaccine is available for $155 per dose at all of our immunisation sessions for everyone 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 higher risk of fever. More information is available at Better Health Channel.
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
As part of the National Immunisation Program, an RSV vaccine is now available for eligible pregnant women. It is recommended between 28-36 weeks of pregnancy to protect your newborn baby from RSV through the passing of antibodies from mother.
The 2025 infant RSV program ended on 30 September 2025. More information is available at Better Health Channel.
