Immunisations Safe, evidence-based vaccinations and flu shots for all ages

At Aloura Family Practice, we are committed to helping protect the health of our community through safe, evidence-based immunisations. Our doctors and nurses provide all routine vaccines in accordance with the Australian National Immunisation Program Schedule, as well as additional vaccines for adults, travellers and at-risk patients.

Routine Childhood Immunisations

We provide all childhood immunisations in line with the national vaccination schedule. Our friendly team takes special care to ensure a calm and supportive experience for both children and parents. Every vaccination appointment includes a short health review with the doctor to ensure your child is well enough to receive their vaccine, followed by administration by one of our experienced nurses.

Adult and Senior Immunisations

In addition to childhood vaccines, we also offer a range of adult and older age immunisations.

  • Whooping cough vaccine: Recommended for adults who have close contact with infants, including parents, grandparents and carers.
  • Flu vaccine (flu shot): Offered each year to protect against seasonal influenza, which can be serious for young children, older adults and people with chronic health conditions.
  • Shingles vaccine: Provided for patients aged 65 and older under the National Immunisation Program.
  • Pneumococcal vaccine: Recommended for adults aged 70 and over.

All National Immunisation Program vaccines, including the shingles and pneumococcal vaccines, are bulk billed at Aloura Family Practice.

COVID-19 and Travel Vaccinations

We offer COVID-19 vaccines and boosters in line with Department of Health guidelines. Our team also provides advice and vaccines for those planning international travel. If you are travelling overseas, please book an appointment with your doctor at least six weeks before departure to allow time for any required travel vaccinations.

Supporting Community Health

Vaccination plays a crucial role in preventing serious illnesses and maintaining community protection. Our doctors and nurses are happy to answer questions about vaccine safety, side effects or timing and can help you stay up to date with your immunisation schedule.
