Did you know that if you are aged between 70 and 79 years of age, you may be eligible for a free vaccine to prevent shingles?

If you are over 65 years of age, have you had your Pneumococcal vaccine?

Do you feel you or any family members missed vaccines at school?

The NSW government has recently provided funding for anyone under 20 years of age to “catch up” any vaccination they may have missed from the NSW childhood immunisations schedule.
