Annual flu vaccination is one of the easiest ways to look after your health heading into winter. Civic Park Consulting Suites is now offering flu shots for patients of all ages — $20 per dose, or free for eligible patients.

Don’t Wait Until Winter

Flu activity in Australia generally peaks between June and August, but the virus begins circulating well before then. Vaccinating from April means your body has adequate time to develop protection before the season hits its stride. If April has passed, a shot later in the season still provides meaningful cover.

The flu vaccine is reformulated every year to match the strains expected to circulate. Last season’s vaccination will not provide reliable protection this year, so an annual shot is the recommended approach.

Who Should Be Vaccinated?

Vaccination is recommended for everyone from six months of age. Certain groups are at greater risk of serious complications from influenza and have the most to gain from vaccination:

• Adults aged 65 and over
• Children under five years of age
• Pregnant women
• People managing chronic health conditions such as diabetes, asthma, or heart disease
• Healthcare workers and carers

Speak with one of our GPs if you have questions about whether the vaccine is suitable for you.

Why Vaccination Matters

Influenza is a serious respiratory illness — not simply a worse version of the common cold. It spreads readily in shared environments and can lead to hospitalisation, particularly in older adults and those with underlying conditions. Getting vaccinated lowers your risk of contracting the virus and can reduce the severity of illness if you do. It also plays a role in limiting transmission within your household and workplace.

The Advantage of Vaccinating at Your GP

Receiving your flu shot at Civic Park Consulting Suites means it is managed within the context of your existing healthcare. Our doctors can confirm the vaccine is appropriate for your health history, handle any other concerns in the same consultation, and ensure the vaccination is recorded on the Australian Immunisation Register.

We vaccinate patients from six months of age, so families can take care of everyone in a single visit.
