Most of the vaccinations are free for community members with a Medicare Card and eligible under the National Immunisation Program.
Booster doses are available to everyone 16 years and over who have had both doses of their primary course of a COVID-19 vaccine. A booster dose provides longer-lasting protection against the virus that can help prevent severe illness.
