COVID-19 Vaccination
Vaccination appointments can be booked using the Vaccine Clinic Finder.
Vaccination After COVID-19 Infection
COVID-19 vaccinations are recommended for people with a past history of COVID-19. There is no recommended minimum interval between a COVID-19 vaccine dose and infection.
COVID-19 and Flu Vaccination Timing
The ATAGI clinical guidance on COVID-19 vaccination states that COVID-19 vaccines can be co-administered with an influenza vaccine.
COVID-19 Vaccination (Doseage, Age Range and Vaccine Information)
ATAGI has developed a factsheet which outlines recommended doses and vaccines for each age and vulnerability group. It is important to check each patient’s immunisation history before administering any vaccines. Patients immunisation history can be viewed through The Australian Immunisation Register (AIR), Clinician Vaccine Integrated Platform (CVIP) and My Health Record.
Adverse Event Following Immunisation Symptom Checker and Reporting
Vaccination providers are reminded to report concerns regarding a suspected adverse event following immunisation (AEFI). All uncommon, unexpected or serious AEFI, must be reported to the local Public Health Unit on 1300 066 055 or by email using the TGA AEFI case notification form.
The healthdirect diagnostic symptom checking tool can check for common symptoms of the currently available COVID-19 vaccines.
Identifying TTS in Vaccinated Patients
Patients presenting with symptoms of thrombosis with thrombocytopaenia syndrome (TTS) in the 4 to 30 days after vaccination should be managed as per the latest ACEM and THANZ advice. HealthPathways details the investigation and management of TTS under the Vaccination Procedure Pathway (navigate to Management and reporting of side-effects). The Department of Health has collated information for clinicians.
We recommend GPs stay up-to date with the latest COVID-19 advice and information from NSW Health, Dept of Health and the RACGP, as well as current clinical guidance from our HealthPathways' website.
