Immunisation

Keep your employees and students healthy by immunising them annually against the latest flu strains.

New flu vaccines are made available in February/March each year and we offer clinics from March onwards. Vaccination is most effective in the months leading up to winter; March to June. We service most regions in Queensland from the Gold Coast to Brisbane and Far North Queensland.

Our immunisation nurses conduct the programs with minimal disruption to your school or business with in-house clinics.

Why it’s so important to protect against flu:

• Flu strains change every year so annual immunisation is necessary
• The flu is highly contagious and one sneeze can spread the flu up to a metre
• It’s more serious than a cold and can take weeks to recover
• Companies that don’t vaccinate face increased absences and decreased productivity
• Fit and healthy people are also at risk
