Free Flu Vaccine in Point Cook — Are You Eligible Under the NIP?

The Australian Government funds the seasonal flu vaccine free of charge for every person at higher risk of severe flu under the National Immunisation Program (NIP). If you live in Williams Landing, Point Cook, Truganina, Laverton or surrounding suburbs and you fall into one of the categories below, your flu shot at Juniper Avenue Medical Centre is bulk billed and 100% free.

  • Children 6 months to under 5 years — flu hits little ones hardest; the NIP covers them every season.
  • Adults aged 65 years and over — eligible for the enhanced (adjuvanted) flu vaccine that gives stronger protection in older adults.
  • Pregnant women — at any stage of pregnancy; protects mum and bub during the first six months of life.
  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 6 months and over — free flu vaccine every year.
  • Anyone with a chronic medical condition — heart disease, severe asthma, chronic lung conditions, diabetes, kidney disease, a weakened immune system, certain neurological conditions and more.

Not sure if you qualify for the free flu vaccine? Call Juniper Avenue Medical Centre on (03) 9395 5566 — our reception team will confirm your NIP eligibility before your appointment so there are no surprises at the desk. Walk-ins welcome.
