Vax at Home Program – ceasing on 30 September 2024
The Vax at Home Program will be ceasing at the end of September 2024. The last day for GP referrals for housebound patients that need a COVID-19 Vaccine or booster, will be Wednesday, 18 September 2024. Please send referrals to Vax at Home Service. Please note a GP referral must be attached.
For Residential Aged Care Homes – final requests for COVID-19 clinics are to be emailed to vaxathomeservice@cesphn.com.au by 18 September 2024.
We would like to reiterate that the risk of serious illness from COVID-19 increases with age. The rate is higher for those with other serious health conditions or a weakened immune system. Please continue to encourage your vulnerable patients to access a COVID-19 vaccine or booster at the appropriate time for them.
Patients will be able to access the COVID-19 vaccine and boosters through their local GP or Pharmacist. To find a local COVID-19 vaccine clinic, please support patients and direct them to Healthdirect and ‘Find a health service’ if your practice does not participate in the program.
If you have any questions, please contact CESPHN at vaxathome@cesphn.com.au
