Kilcoy’s free vaccine boost
IMMUNISATION rates remain low across Kilcoy, which has been identified by Queensland Health as an area of need for improved COVID-19 and influenza vaccine coverage.
It is the furthest point of service for our PHN and one of our priority communities.
For the third year running, and together with the Queensland Injectors Health Network (QuIHN), Brisbane North PHN is pleased to offer free community vaccine clinics to residents of Kilcoy (and surrounds), where they will be able to access both COVID-19 and flu vaccines on Saturday, April 12.
To ensure this service is accessible to as many priority community members as possible, in partnership with vaccine provider QuIHN, we have extended the 2025 program to include five clinics: two in Kilcoy, two in Woodford, and an additional clinic in Wamuran.
At our successful first clinic in Kilcoy earlier this month, 71 vaccines were delivered to 41 local community members, with some choosing to receive multiple vaccines. 46 Woodford residents also attended their first clinic last weekend to receive their annual vaccines – many of whom expressed appreciation for access to this service in the community.
Appointments for Kilcoy’s second clinic on Saturday, April 12, are available online or by calling 07 3620 8111, with walk-ins welcome on the day. Both Medicare and non-Medicare card holders can access this service at no cost.
This is your final opportunity to receive a free vaccine service in Kilcoy.
Further information will be published in the coming weeks, and some information is available on the Brisbane North PHN website: https://www.brisbanenorthphn.org.au/.
