I don't visit this clinic normally so hope you ' Bulk Bill '.
I did a search without luck so,
Where do people go to get a flu shot while travelling. I have just checked a couple of chemists on the nth coast NSW without great success. One told me they won't be available until May this year. Has anyone heard different ?
Looks like I might have to wait until Townsville, mid May. Getting a bit late though I think

I was told the same thing by my doctor only last week as well Clare. We are off next week, so we'll just find a bulk billing GP somewhere in our travels in a few week's time.

A big thankyou Kaid, I have booked on-line as you suggested for mid April and all confirmed, cheap too. Getting the 4b. It was a very painless procedure.

Youre all spot on - the current one which is available is known as the Tri-Vacc but is a bit worthless as it is suspected a 4th strain will be more common n Aust this year. Its called the Quad-Vacc and depending on which State and GP you go to, will be available sometime in April or even as late as May.
Most chemists will do it for around $15 - you need to book as most have a registered nurse visit once a week (they are actually employed by a company that does this sort of work) to do the jabs. And as Dougwe says - they do so many, its painless.
If you have had pneumonia, then you are able to get a free vacc shot, which is once every 2 years.
If you suffer a large range of chronic ailments, then your Tri or Quad vacc is free
