Our Services
COVID-19 vaccines - booster dose.
Since December 2022, we offer only ADULT Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine (Comirnaty) and Moderna . Due to low demand, we no longer offer other covid vaccines like Astra Zeneca, Novavax. We also no longer provide covid vacccine for CHILDREN. Patients who need Covid-19 vaccines can go to other vaccine clinics or pharmacies.
We still provide travel vaccines and vaccines for children under National Immunisation Program.
Flu Vaccines 2023
We will begin administering flu vaccines for all patients (aged 6 months and above) in early April 2023.
With international borders re-opening after two years of closures, health experts predict that this flu season will be worse than usual, as natural immunity levels will be much lower.
All COVID-19 vaccines can be co-administered (given on the same day) with an influenza vaccine. (ATAGI March 2023)
