Vaccinations

We understand that the thought of a vaccine shot may not be pleasant. However, this brief discomfort can help protect you and your loved ones from a range of illnesses.

We offer vaccines for all ages — from infants to older adults. Our qualified team administers a wide range of vaccinations, including:

  • Influenza vaccine

  • COVID-19 vaccine

  • Shingles vaccine

  • Whooping cough vaccine (including for pregnant patients and partners)

  • Pneumococcal vaccine

  • Vitamin B12 injection

  • 6-month childhood routine vaccination (single needle)

Childhood vaccinations involve a joint appointment with your GP and our Immunisation Nurse, which includes a brief developmental review.

Vaccines are provided under the National Immunisation Program Schedule.

We also run a dedicated Vaccine Clinic as an option for suitable vaccines.

Vaccine Clinic Hours:
🕐 Tuesday: 1:00–1:30 PM
🕘 Wednesday: 9:00–9:30 AM
🕓 Thursday: 4.00–4:30 PM

Please note: not all vaccinations are suitable for administration during vaccine clinic hours due to factors such as needle quantity. For clarification, we recommend calling our reception team before booking.

If you’re planning travel, we also offer Travel Medicine consultations — click [here] to learn more.

Get Your Flu Vaccination at The Village GP Black Rock

Flu season is approaching, and it’s important to protect yourself and your loved ones with the flu vaccination. At The Village GP Black Rock, we’re committed to providing comprehensive healthcare services, including effective flu vaccinations for the local community in Black Rock, Beaumaris, Brighton, Sandringham, Hampton, and nearby areas.

Understand Your Flu Vaccination Options

At The Village GP Black Rock, we offer both free and private flu vaccines to ensure that everyone in our community is protected this flu season. We have 2025 flu vaccines available (Government & Private), with private flu shots available for $25.

Free Flu Vaccines Under the National Immunisation Program (NIP)

If you’re eligible, the flu vaccine is free under the National Immunisation Program for the following groups:

  • Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people (6 months and over)
  • Children aged 6 months to under 5 years
  • Pregnant women (at any stage of pregnancy)
  • Individuals aged 65 and over
  • People aged 6 months and over with medical conditions that increase the risk of severe flu

Private Vaccinations

If you do not meet the criteria for the National Immunisation Program, you can still receive the flu vaccine for a small fee of $25.

Flu vaccines are available throughout the week at our immunisation clinic, and consultations are bulk-billed with Medicare. If you do not have Medicare, the consultation fee is $20.

Who Should Get Vaccinated?

We recommend the flu vaccine for everyone aged 6 months and over, but certain groups are at a higher risk of severe flu complications and are strongly encouraged to get vaccinated each year. These high-risk groups are eligible for free vaccines under the NIP, including:

  • Children aged 6 months to under 5 years
  • Pregnant women (at any stage of pregnancy)
  • People aged 65 years and over
  • Individuals with chronic medical conditions, including heart disease, respiratory issues, diabetes, and other health conditions that increase the risk of severe flu.

By vaccinating, you help not only protect yourself but also your community—ensuring those who are most vulnerable are shielded from the flu’s potential risks.

When Should I Get the Flu Vaccine?

For optimal protection against the flu, we recommend getting your flu vaccination at The Village GP Black Rock before the flu season starts, ideally in April or May. This timing allows your body to build strong immunity, so you’re fully protected during the peak flu months, which typically run from June to September. Getting vaccinated early not only helps reduce your risk of illness but also ensures you stay healthy and safeguarded throughout the flu season.
