Community immunisation sessions

We provide free vaccinations for children in Glen Eira as part of the National Immunisation Program Schedule.

Find an immunisation session

Please don't attend a session if you or your child/children are unwell with any flu or cold-like symptoms. We ask that only two adults per child attend the session and masks must be worn before entering the session.

Our immunisation sessions are appointment-based, bookings can be made by clicking on the button. 

Note: Our immunisation bookings are now managed online via the Victorian Government's CIRV portal. You will need to register first and then make your appointment by selecting 'Glen Eira City Council' as your service provider.

Seasonal influenza vaccine

We are currently providing influenza vaccinations for the upcoming winter season. Council is funded under National Immunisation Program (NIP) to deliver the service for free particularly important for those most at risk: pregnant women, people with certain medical conditions and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Special risk groups are eligible to receive the seasonal influenza vaccine for free under the National Immunisation Program (NIP).

You should get vaccinated each year from April onwards to be protected before the influenza season. The peak influenza season is usually June to September in most parts of Australia. However, it is never too late to get the vaccine as influenza can spread all year round.

If you had last season’s flu vaccine late last year or early this year, you should still get the new season vaccine this year.

All adults aged 65 and over and children aged 6 months to less than 5 years are eligible for a free influenza vaccine that is specifically made to boost the immune response for better protection.

Prepare for your visit

Bookings are required. You should bring your child’s health book or immunisation records, and a Medicare card (if you have one).
