Whitehorse City Council provides free vaccinations against infectious diseases for children from 6 weeks to 19 years of age. A limited range of vaccines are available for eligible adults in accordance with the National Immunisation Program (NIP) Schedule.

Immunising your child with the routine National Immunisation Program continues to be vital during the current pandemic situation as we must ensure all children are immunised against infectious diseases. Please continue to vaccinate your child/ren on time.

In response to the current pandemic situation Whitehorse City Council has introduced a booking system for the Public Immunisation Program commencing Tuesday 24 March 2020.

Please call the Environmental Health Unit on 9262 6197 to make a booking. If you do not have booking you will not be vaccinated.  

Council has introduced COVID-19 pandemic control measures to protect the health of our staff and residents.
 
The following control measures apply to all immunisation sessions:

• From Tuesday 24 March, families must have an appointment to attend a session
• You must not attend our session if you have been diagnosed with COVID-19, until cleared by your doctor
• You must not attend our session if you or your children are subject to a 14-day self-isolation requirement
• You must not attend if you are unwell or have the following symptoms – fever, cough, shortness of breath or fatigue
• Please arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before your appointment. If you are late to your appointment, you will need to reschedule
• To avoid crowding do not bring extra family members to the appointment, if it can be avoided

We want to avoid having too many people at our sessions, in our waiting areas. Please limit the number of people accompanying the child to be vaccinated.

It is recommended you stay 15 minutes after receiving the vaccine to ensure you or your child leaves in good health.
