COVID-19 update
Council is monitoring the progress of the COVID-19 pandemic and closely following advice and direction from the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
We are continuing to operate our immunisation service to ensure the community is protected from vaccine preventable diseases, while taking into account the required social distancing and hygiene practices. We provide immunisations to babies, young children, adolescents and adults at all sessions as per the National Immunisation Program.
All sessions until Friday 31 July 2020 will now be held at:
- Karralyka Centre, Mines Road, Ringwood East
- Croydon Senior Citizens Club, corner Mount Dandenong Road and Civic Square, Croydon.
Bookings are essential for all immunisation services. Appointment times have also been extended to ensure separation can be maintained between attendees.
This year we also introduced dedicated flu only sessions at Karralyka and Croydon Senior Citizens Centre. These additional sessions have been extremely popular, to make a booking view the Flu sessions drop-box further down the page.
