COVID-19 Vaccine
QMSC is a COVID-19 vaccination clinic for both the Vaxzevria (Astra Zeneca) and Comirnaty (Pfizer) COVID-19 vaccines. Nuvaxovid (Novavax) has also just received TGA provisional approval as a primary course vaccine for 18 years+ and we anticipate being able to offer this vaccine as soon as it is available to general practice.
WA has achieved an outstanding primary course vaccination result and we are now in the phase of getting boosters completed before borders open. The timing change of boosters for those 18 and over has changed to 3 months since the primary course. This includes pregnant women and severely immunocompromised.
The Paediatric Comirnity (Pfizer) vaccine rollout has also begun and is a third of the adult dose. This is a 2 dose schedule, 8 weeks apart. Severely immunocompromised will have a 3rd dose.
