Vaccination against flu is the best way to protect your children. 

Children from 6 months to under 5 years of age will have access to free flu vaccines through Council’s childhood immunisation sessions.

Children receiving their influenza vaccination for the first time require two doses of vaccine, spaced by a minimum of one month. Children who have been immunised against flu previously will only require one dose each year.

RSV vaccines (for pregnant women between 28-36 weeks of pregnancy, and for infants and children including infants up to 8 months and children up to 2 years) are not provided as part of the Shire’s services.

These vaccines are available through GPs, birthing clinics and Primary Health Networks, and hospitals – who we encourage you contact to arrange these immunisations.

Council also provides an immunisation service for secondary schools within the municipality to students in years 7 and 10 as recommended by the state government.

Consent cards and information sheets are sent out to all secondary schools and colleges during the first quarter of the school year.

Any student who misses any vaccinations can arrange to attend one of Council’s Childhood Immunisation sessions to catch-up.

The Council’s Environmental Health Unit can only provide immunisation records for individuals that have been immunised through a Surf Coast Shire’s immunisation service. Request for Immunisation Record.
