Vaccines We Offer

Immunisation Services at Carlton Railway Pharmacy

Influenza (Flu)

Annual flu vaccination is one of the most effective ways to protect yourself and your community. Available from April each year including the free government-funded vaccine for eligible patients aged 65 and over.

COVID-19

Stay up to date with your COVID-19 vaccination including boosters. We administer all government-approved COVID-19 vaccines and can advise on the right dose and timing for your situation.

Shingles

Shingles can cause severe, long-lasting nerve pain. The shingles vaccine significantly reduces your risk and is free for eligible Australians aged 70 to 79 under the National Immunisation Program.

Pneumococcal

Pneumococcal disease can cause serious infections including pneumonia, meningitis, and blood infections. Vaccination is especially important for adults over 65 and those with chronic health conditions.

Whooping Cough

Pertussis is highly contagious and dangerous for newborns. Vaccination of parents, grandparents, and carers creates a protective cocoon for babies too young to be vaccinated themselves.

Travel Vaccinations

Travelling overseas? We provide travel health consultations and administer vaccines including Hepatitis A and B, Typhoid, and others depending on your destination and travel risk profile.

How It Works

Getting Vaccinated Has Never Been Easier

Book or Walk In

Call us, visit in store, or use our contact form to request a vaccination. Walk-ins are always welcome during our trading hours with no appointment necessary.

Health Screening

Our pharmacist completes a brief 5-minute health check to confirm the right vaccine for you and identify any contraindications before administering.

Vaccination Administered

Your vaccine is administered safely and professionally in our private consultation room by our accredited pharmacist immuniser.

15-Minute Observation

We ask you to remain in the pharmacy for 15 minutes after your vaccination so we can monitor for any reactions and ensure you leave feeling confident and safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a GP referral to get vaccinated at a pharmacy?

Is my vaccination recorded officially?

Yes. All vaccinations we administer are recorded in the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR), accessible by your GP and other healthcare providers.
