COVID VACCINE UPDATE - 2nd Dose Astra Zeneca

When should I have my second Vaccine?
The Government has announced the reduction in the dose interval of the Astra Zeneca vaccine from 12 weeks to 6-8 weeks given the current COVID-19 outbreak.

The official health Advise from ATAGI, The Australian Technical Advisory Group remains that 12 weeks is the optimal time for the 2nd vaccination for optimal COVID protection.

Based on this, if you would like to bring your 2nd dose appointment forward, please contact our reception team on 4365 2983. Currently, we have opened 2nd vaccination clinics on Tuesday 13th and Wednesday 14th. These clinics are suitable for patients vaccinated prior to the 31/5/21.

As we have stock available and the capacity to open more clinic times, we will post these available sessions on our Facebook and Website. Please only call to book an earlier vaccination time if you are already passed the 6-8 week time frame.
