23.01.2022 WARNING: High risk of thunderstorm asthma.

22.01.2022 Not everyone is finding Stay at Home directions challenging. Some of our younger Victorians think it's ‘awesome’. Thank you to the parents of Victoria for your patience, care and resilience. We know it's not always easy.

16.01.2022 From 11.59pm on Wednesday 22 July, face coverings are compulsory in Melbourne and Mitchell Shire, due to the higher number of coronavirus (COVID-19) cases currently occurring. Wearing a face mask provides an additional physical barrier to coronavirus (COVID-19), helping to reduce community transmission. When should I wear a mask? When leaving home for one of the four reasons, people 12 years and older must wear a face covering, unless an exemption applies. You should pu...t your face covering on before you leave your car. If you are driving your car for work, such as deliveries, or with people from outside your household then you are required to wear a face covering. If you are doing strenuous physical exercise you do not need to wear a face covering but you must carry one with you. Strenuous exercise includes activities like jogging, running or cycling but not walking. For more information visit: https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au//updated-restrictions-1159pm-w

05.01.2022 WELL DONE VICTORIA - for doing so well and getting us out of travel restrictions. Important Changes - As of the 9th of November we will only be able to offer Telehealth consultations to patients who have been seen in the clinic in the past 12 months. Exceptions apply to those under 12 months old, homeless patients and people required to isolate due to COVID-19. Please call reception if you are unsure if these changes apply to you. Please note: We are still asking all patients visiting the clinic to call when you arrive and wait in your car until your appointment. RIA

05.01.2022 Telehealth services are available at Kallista Medical Centre! Our doctors will then organise to see you if necessary. See our website for more details and to book online.

01.01.2022 2ND FLU VACCINATIONS THIS YEAR! Some doctors are recommending getting a second flu vaccination for those at risk or for those that want to limit their risk of bad flu symptoms if Victoria opens up more later in the year. What is the evidence around receiving a second flu vaccine? - This recommendation is based on the idea that the flu vaccine gives some protection for 4-5 months before immunity starts to decline. There is some limited evidence, based on studies, that a secon...d flu vaccine in a season will give extra benefit. Early studies suggested that an annual flu vaccine provides less of a vaccine immune response than first flu vaccination, however subsequent studies have disproven this. It likely does not cause harm. Certainly a lot of the staff and doctors at the clinic will receive, or have had, a second flu vaccine to reduce our risk at the end of the year. You decide, and contact us if you would like to book in to receive another flu vaccine.
