*QLD Health recommends wearing a mask in healthcare settings if you are unwell or if cases start to rise (the amber and red ‘traffic light’ levels of covid risk). However, for now, it is still a requirement of entry into the practice that you continue to bring and wear your facial mask while waiting and during your appointments*
IMPORTANT: If you are unwell, please delay your appointment
Primary doses (dose 1 and 2)
ATAGI recommends an 8 week dose interval between the primary doses for Pfizer, Moderna and Novavax. 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.
Booster 3
Booster 4
Booster 5
If you have confirmed covid-19 please read our covid response page for information about anti-viral treatments
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.

Note:
Morningside & Belmont General Practice Clinics will not be administering COVID-19 vaccinations for under 5s or the AstraZeneca and Novavax vaccines. If you are wanting to make bookings for these, it can be done via the Vaccine Clinic Finder: https://www.health.gov.au/resources/apps-and-tools/covid-19-vaccine-clinic-finder
Please do not come to your vaccination appointment:
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 covid vaccine.
Continue to practice Covid-safe behaviours: cover your mouth when you cough, wash your hands, keep your distance, avoid contact with sick people and large crowds, wear a mask, get tested and then stay home if you're sick.
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.
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.
If you have recently had your first dose of a Covid-19 vaccine and are having side effects that you are worried about, please use the vaccine side effect checker, ask your GP, or call 13HEALTH and follow the advice.
QLD Health also has a COVID-19 adverse event following immunisation reporting form which you may access here.
