Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ is prepared for another strong turnout to its next weekend flu vaccine clinic.
Public Health Specialist Dr Paul Van Buynder says extra nurses will be on-hand at the Broadbeach Library clinic when it opens from 11am ¨C 1:30pm tomorrow.
Professor Van Buynder said an average of 500 people attended the first two in the series of six weekend flu immunisation clinics.
¡°We have been pleasantly surprised at the community response to the clinics,¡± Dr Van Buynder said.
¡°It¡¯s wonderful to see the Saturday clinics are making it easier for people to fit the vaccination into their busy schedules.¡±
¡°Plus, now that we have new vaccines for younger people and special vaccines for older people, it is the perfect time to get vaccinated against influenza.¡±
No appointments are required to attend, simply turn up with your Medicare card and you or child's vaccination record or personal health record.
This year¡¯s flu vaccine protects against both influenza A strains and both influenza B types.
