Getting vaccinated for COVID-19 at Mind Your Health Medical Centre
As a general practice, we are one of the critical partners involved in Australia’s COVID-19 Vaccine National Rollout Strategy, making us one of the over 5000 general practices across Australia providing vaccination coverage for COVID-19 to protect our local community and the wider population. We are mandated by the Federal Government guidelines for eligibility criteria provided to us by the Department of Health. This is updated regularly to align with the latest advice and guidance from the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI). Use the COVID-19 Vaccine Eligibility Checker to find out which vaccine you are eligible for and when you can receive it.
Please note, you will need to have a valid Medicare Card (including Reciprocal Medicare Cards) to be vaccinated at our clinic. If you are ineligible for Medicare, you will need to book your vaccination appointment at a NSW Health Vaccination Hub site. Use the Vaccine Clinic Finder to find a site near you.
