NOTE: ATAGI's updated advice, published on 29 April is that all people should wait at least three months after a confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection before their next COVID-19 vaccine dose (including booster doses). ATAGI also recommends that the dose interval between the primary doses for Pfizer, Moderna and Novavax be extended to 8 weeks. This can be reduced to a minimum of 3 weeks for Pfizer or 4 weeks for Moderna for people at high risk of severe COVID-19, in an outbreak or prior to international travel.
As of the 8th of April, 2022, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) provisionally approved the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, for use as a booster in individuals aged 12 to 15 years old.
On June 9th, 2022, ATAGI recommended booster doses for people who are aged 12-15 years AND who:
Boosters can be given from 3 months or longer after the primary course of the Covid-19 vaccine, or from 3 months after a confirmed covid infection if the infection happened after the primary course.
Boosters are available from Tuesday, June 14.
Current ATAGI recommendations strongly encourage an additional dose (the winter booster, or 4th dose) of a COVID-19 vaccine for the following groups as they are at greatest risk of severe illness from COVID-19:
On May 25, ATAGI extended the recommended groups to include people aged 16-64 who have:
The additional winter booster dose can be given from 4 months or longer after the first booster dose, or from 4 months after a confirmed Covid-19 infection if the infection happened after the first booster dose.
The flu vaccine can be given at the same time as COVID-19 vaccines, but if you are not yet eligible for the Covid vaccine, you can have your flu vaccine first.
The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer or Moderna) are the preferred booster vaccines and these are the ones that we are offering. Where possible, we will accommodate your preference, however we don’t always have both brands available. AstraZeneca can be used if an mRNA is contraindicated, or AstraZeneca is preferred and the Novavax can be used if no other COVID-19 vaccine is considered suitable, however you would need to go to another vaccine provider for these. A list of vaccine providers is available online through the vaccine clinic finder.
The TGA has granted approval for the Pfizer vaccine to be administered to children from age 5 and up. ATAGI have authorised a lower dose of the vaccine (1/3 of the adult dose) to be given 8 weeks apart, from January 10, 2022.
Appointments can be booked via HotDoc
Note: Anyone aged 5 years and over who is severely immunocompromised can receive three primary doses of vaccine. This third dose can be provided 2 to 6 months after the second dose.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE! Your child’s consent form must be completed online to secure their first appointment. If your child has special needs such as sensory processing issues, ASD or needle phobia, please book an appointment but email the clinic on pracman@mgpc.net.au attention Vaccine Co-ordinator with the appropriate details so we can make this as seamless as possible.

Take a look over the vaccination consent form for those aged 12 years and over, or the consent form for children aged 5-11 years, which is provided for your information.
You should receive an electronic consent form to complete when you book through HotDoc, which is our preferred method. However, if you are unable to book online, please ask reception for a printed version of the consent form when you arrive for your vaccination appointment.
Please do not come to your vaccination appointment:
If you are a new patient to the clinic, it would be helpful if you could bring a Health Summary from your current G.P. with you to your vaccination appointment.

If you have had another vaccine in the 14 days* before your Covid-19 vaccine appointment, please let us know as we may need to reschedule your appointment.
*ATAGI no longer recommends against coadministration of a Covid-19 vaccine with other vaccines, however we recommend you discuss it further with your GP.
An uncommon side effect of the vaccines is swelling of the lymph nodes. Screening mammograms should be done prior to vaccination or 4-6 weeks after your vaccine dose.
Continue to practice Covid-safe behaviours: cover your mouth when you cough, keep your distance, wash your hands, wear a mask, get tested and then stay home if you're sick.
Regularly check this page for further instructions.
While everyone who is living in Australia is funded to receive a vaccine, funding for vaccinations in general practice is limited to those who have a Medicare Card. If you are ineligible for Medicare, you can receive a vaccine at no cost at other sites.
Bookings can be made through the vaccine clinic finder, or on your phone through the Qld check-in app (you will need to download the latest version).
HealthDirect has more information about how to get vaccinated if you are not eligible for Medicare.
The conditions of approval for these vaccines include close monitoring of your side effects. Please see here for some information about vaccine side effects and instructions for what to do after your vaccination.
