Free Flu Vaccination - Med Central, The Glen

The Med Central The Glen clinic is offering free flu vaccinations for all students at your school. This initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to making a meaningful contribution to the community by supporting public health and preventing the spread of the flu virus. 

Influenza, or the flu, is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can vary in severity, from mild to severe, and in some cases, can lead to serious complications or even death. Administering a flu shot is vital for safeguarding both individual and public health by preventing severe flu-related illnesses and complications. It effectively reduces the risk of contracting the flu and mitigates its severity if infection occurs. 

Our clinic is fully equipped with certified healthcare professionals to ensure that the vaccination process is quick, safe, and efficient for all individuals. This private free flu vaccine promotion is eligible for people aged 5-64. Government funded flu vaccine is eligible for people aged under 5 and people aged 65 years and older, for all Medicare card holders.

Our clinic is located inside Priceline Pharmacy at The Glen, on the Lower Ground Floor, conveniently located next to Coles. Please bring a digital version of your voucher (see below) when visiting, and one of our friendly staff members will be happy to assist you with the free flu vaccination.
