The COVID-19 Vaccinations available in Australia have been approved by the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) which means they have been thoroughly evaluated and deemed safe for use. They have also been given to millions of people around the world safely and effectively.
The more of us who get vaccinated, the better we are all protected from the disease as we essentially form a barrier of immunity for those we love.

COVID VACCINE 3RD DOSE OR BOOSTER – WHATS THE DIFFERENCE?

  • A 3rd dose of vaccine is required for those who are severely immunocompromised.  The 3rddose will bring their level of immunity up to that of a person who is not compromised.
  • A booster dose is to re-boost your immunity once the initial course of vaccine has begun to wane.
  • Pfizer is the recommended vaccine for both 3rd doses and booster vaccines regardless of the vaccine you previously had.  If you would prefer to have the Astrazeneca (Vaxzevria) as your 3rd dose or booster shot, please make an appointment to discuss this with your doctor.
