Vaccination FAQs
Why have the free vaccine arrangements changed?
Australia’s COVID-19 vaccination program has moved from a pandemic response program to a more targeted National Immunisation Program. Free vaccines are now focused on people at highest risk of severe disease.
What if I'm not eligible for a free vaccine?
You may still benefit from COVID-19 vaccination and may be able to receive the COVID-19 vaccine for a private fee. Speak with your WholeLife pharmacist about your options and whether this vaccination is recommended for you.
Can I get my COVID-19 and flu vaccines at the same appointment?
Yes. COVID-19 vaccines can be given at the same time as other vaccines, including influenza vaccines.
Are COVID-19 vaccines safe?
Yes. COVID-19 vaccines available in Australia have been carefully assessed and continue to be monitored for safety. Most side effects are mild and temporary, such as a sore arm, headache, tiredness, fever or muscle aches. Serious side effects are very rare.
Up-to-date information regarding vaccine safety and vaccine recommendations can be found here.
Do I still need a COVID-19 vaccine?
If you have never received the COVID-19 vaccine from a previous time, a primary dose of the COVID-19 vaccine may help reduce the risk of severe illness, hospitalisation and serious complications from a COVID-19 infection.
I'm pregnant or breastfeeding. Can I be vaccinated?
Speak with your pharmacist, GP or maternity healthcare provider about the most appropriate vaccination advice for your circumstances.
