Pop-up influenza vaccination clinics for young children
Parents looking to arrange an annual influenza vaccine for their young child can access a pop-up influenza vaccination clinic in May and June.
The clinics are available for children aged 6 months to under 5 years and are free.
There are locations across Canberra in Belconnen, Gungahlin, Central Canberra, Tuggeranong and Weston Creek. The full schedule of clinics with dates and times are shown below.
Walk-ins are welcome, but bookings are recommended. To book call the Central Health Intake (CHI) line on 02 5124 9977 from 8 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday.
If this is your child’s first time receiving a flu vaccination, they should receive 2 doses of the vaccine, 4 weeks apart.
In subsequent years only 1 dose is required.
Children who only received 1 dose in their first year of vaccination still only require 1 dose in subsequent years.
