Flu Vaccinations
Our Pharmacists have been protecting the Noranda Community from circulating Flu by vaccinating patients for over 7 years.
Traditionally, we get the Northern Hemisphere Flu starting as early as April in WA. As the Influenza Virus is an ever-changing virus, the Flu shot often changes from year to year so YEARLY vaccination is essential.
The yearly Flu shot is made in Australia once the laboratories have decoded the prevalent strains of Flu Virus and the vaccines are usually available from April onwards. Medical authorities recommend vaccination as early as possible so that the public have time for their immune systems to prepare for the Flu season onset.
Vaccinations for patients under 65 years of age cost $24.95.
BUT, in past years - and we expect in future years - the WA Government has made Flu vaccinations FREE to everyone in May and June and some years, also in July.
Vaccinations for patients that qualify for NIP - aged 65 years and over, those with specific chronic diseases, pregnant women etc can be accessed FREE all year round.
You must be well on the day and you must stay in the Pharmacy for 15 minutes after the vaccination to ensure there is no after reaction.
We have plenty of vaccines in stock and are vaccinating on all days except Sunday.
Please phone 92766460 to book an appointment or come into the Pharmacy - we might even be able to vaccinate you right then. Alternately, you can book on our link below
