We are a COVID-19 vaccination provider. Koobil Street Medical is pleased to advise that we are an approved vaccination provider for the COVID-19 vaccines. We are happy to help provide COVID-19 immunisation for our local area and wider community. Checking when you can receive your COVID-19 vaccine: To find out when you are eligible to receive the vaccine, visit https://covid-vaccine.healthdirect.gov.au/eligibility and complete the COVID-19 Vaccine Eligibility Checker. This will tell you which phase of the rollout you are in. Booking your COVID-19 vaccination appointment: When it is your turn to get vaccinated, you can call us on 07 3841 1011 to book your appointments to get your first and second doses of the vaccine. Make sure when you book, you will be available for the second dose. Please call us if you need to confirm what the timing should be between the appointments |
