For those under 60 who have already received a single dose of the Astra Zeneca vaccine, it is still recommended that a second Astra Zeneca vaccine be administered to complete the course.

Access to Pfizer vaccinations will be expanded to all Australians aged 40 - 59 years. We are expecting to be able to offer the Pfizer vaccine in the near future however at this stage we have no confirmed date of availability. We will update our website and facebook page when stock arrives.

For those under 60 years of age who have an appointment scheduled with us for an AZ vaccine, we will be in contact with you shortly.
