11.01.2022 Having a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine is one way we can protect our community against coronavirus. COVID-19 vaccines help to prevent serious illness and death from COVID-19, and they are free for everyone in Australia. Bay Centre Medical is pleased to advise that we are an approved vaccination provider for COVID-19 vaccines. We are happy to help provide COVID-19 immunisation for our local area and wider community. COVID-19 vaccines are being rolled out to people in ph...ases, with those most at risk receiving their vaccinations first. Bay Centre Medical will receive the AstraZeneca vaccine early to mid April 2021. Bay Centre Medical will contact you to offer the COVID-19 vaccine to our patients most at risk. Once Bay Centre Medical has vaccinated our most at risk patients, we will offer bookings by phoning the practice, online via our website or book through the COVID-19 Vaccine Eligibility Checker: https://covid-vaccine.healthdirect.gov.au/eligibility.
