Immunisation protects and saves lives
The number one way of preventing disease is to control it. Immunisation programs are the safest and most effective way of avoiding the spread of diseases in the workplace, businesses, communities, and schools. It is a simple way of protecting yourself and your family, and can save lives.
Immunisation works by triggering the immune system to fight against diseases. Vaccinations are the safest way of producing an immune response in the body without causing illness.
The Australian Government approved Immunisation Schedule is created to keep preventable disease from kids, teenagers, adults, and elderly. With the support of Eastern Health Authority, you can be a part of protecting and saving lives within the community.
Free Immunisation service to Constituent Council residents
Eastern Health Authority provides vaccines recommended for children and adults on the National Immunisation Program (NIP) at no cost to people with a current Medicare card. Seasonal Influenza "FLU" vaccines are available from April each year for a cost of $22, unless eligible to receive a government funded dose - see more information on eligibility here.
