Who we vaccinate
We offer vaccinations for:
- Babies and children — routine childhood immunisations as per the National Immunisation Schedule and catch-up vaccinations
- Adolescents — school-based and catch-up vaccines
- Pregnant women — whooping cough and influenza
- Older adults — influenza
We also provide seasonal flu vaccination which is encouraged every year. Higher risk groups such as children between six months and less than five years of age, and adults aged 65 and over may be eligible for a free influenza vaccine that is specifically made to boost the immune response for better protection.
Information about eligibility criteria for free vaccines can be found at Eligibility for free vaccine.
Traveling with an Infant?
Infants aged 6–11 months traveling overseas may receive a state-funded dose of MMR. Infants vaccinated before 11 months still require their routine 12 and 18-month doses.
The program is available regardless of Medicare or visa status.
Individuals in this age group are encouraged to book appointments through our immunisation service between March and September 2026 to take advantage of this free, state-funded initiative.
Glen Eira City Council does not provide travel vaccines. If you are travelling outside of Australia, please visit your GP at least one month prior to travel to get travel vaccination advice.
