May 31, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

Darling Downs Health has advised that a temporary influenza and COVID-19 vaccination clinic will be at the Murgon Youth Hub on Thursday (June 2).<\/p>\n

The clinic will be held at the Youth Hub in Gore Street from 10:00am-4:00pm.<\/p>\n

It will be open to all community members and no bookings are required.<\/p>\n

People aged six months and older can receive a free influenza vaccination.<\/p>\n

Eligible community members, can receive their first, second or booster doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination.<\/p>\n

A winter COVID-19 booster dose is recommended for people:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Aged 65 years or older<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Resident in an aged care or disability care facility<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • Who are severely immunocompromised, with conditions such as diabetes on medication, cancer, chronic lung and liver conditions, chronic cardiac and kidney disease, severe obesity or underweight, chronic inflammatory conditions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n
        • Who are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and aged 50 years and older.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            \n
          • Aged 16-64 and with a medical condition that increases the risk of severe COVID-19 illness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
              \n
            • Aged 16 to 64 with a disability with significant or complex health needs or multiple comorbidities which increase the risk of a poor outcome.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              \u201cTypically, we see influenza cases in the community increase in mid-June,” Darling Downs Health spokesperson Michelle Forrest said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

              “This year, we\u2019ve seen a rapid increase in the number of influenza cases in our community much earlier and we expect that to continue to grow over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

              \u201cWe\u2019re excited to be able to provide an influenza vaccination to all members of the community at no cost, which we know reduces the risk of severe cases.<\/p>\n

              “In addition to offering an influenza vaccination, the clinic will also provide COVID-19 vaccinations. If you are due for a COVID-19 booster, or perhaps you\u2019re still to receive your first dose, come on in to the clinic and one of our friendly team will be able to help.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
