Immunisation and Vaccinations in Coomera
Vaccinations are a safe and effective way to help protect you and your family against many preventable diseases. At Coomera Town Medical Centre, our doctors and nurses provide immunisations for all ages, from routine childhood vaccines to flu shots, travel vaccinations and vaccines for older adults, conveniently located inside Westfield Coomera.
We follow current Australian immunisation guidelines and aim to make the process simple, calm and reassuring for every patient. We are open 7 days a week, with appointments available online.
Vaccinations for Every Stage of Life
Immunisation needs change as we move through life. Babies and children follow a recommended schedule, adolescents may need catch-up doses, adults benefit from boosters and seasonal vaccines, and older adults are recommended additional protection against certain illnesses. Our team can review your immunisation history and help you stay up to date at every age.
Why Immunisation Matters
Vaccines help your immune system recognise and respond to specific infections. Being vaccinated can reduce your risk of becoming seriously unwell from certain diseases, and high vaccination rates across the community help protect people who cannot be vaccinated, such as newborns and those with particular medical conditions. Your doctor can explain the benefits and any considerations relevant to your individual circumstances.

The National Immunisation Program
The National Immunisation Program (NIP) provides funded vaccines to eligible people in Australia, including children, adolescents, pregnant women and older adults. Many vaccines on the NIP schedule are available at no cost to eligible patients. Our reception team and doctors can help you understand which vaccines you or your child are due for and whether they are funded.
What to Expect at Your Vaccination Appointment
At your appointment, your doctor or nurse will check your immunisation history, discuss the recommended vaccines and answer any questions you have. The vaccine is then given, usually as a quick injection. We ask patients to wait a short time afterwards so we can make sure you feel well before you leave.
It helps to bring any immunisation records you have, and for children, their personal health record. If you have any concerns about allergies or past reactions, let our team know beforehand.
Travel Vaccinations and Planning Ahead
If you are travelling overseas, it is best to book a travel health appointment well in advance, ideally six to eight weeks before you leave. This allows time for any vaccines that need multiple doses and for your body to build protection before your trip. Your doctor will discuss your destination, planned activities and health history to recommend suitable vaccinations and travel health advice.
