⚠️COVID-19 VACCINATIONS - CLICK HERE

Barwon Health Immunisation Service, working under contract for the City of Greater Geelong, provides immunisation services to all residents in the Greater Geelong region. The service provides all vaccines on the National Immunisation Program Schedule including infant, pre-schooler, secondary students and adult vaccines.

Due to COVID-19 (coronavirus) and the need to keep our community safe, there has been changes to our normal sessions and venues. Please do not attend the sessions if you or your child is unwell, has been overseas in the last 14 days or has a temperature. Only one caregiver should attend with a client and no extra siblings if possible.

All immunisation appointments can be booked online above, or by calling 4215 6963. For further information please call.

School vaccination

For your health and safety, we ask you to read the pre-immunisation-checklist prior to immunisation.
