Preventative Healthcare Tips in Winter

Preventative Healthcare Tips in Winter

1st Jul 2021

A change of season can be a cold reminder about preventive healthcare measures. This winter, it's recommended that both patients and carer's stay on top of their regular health checks and vaccinations

Free Flu Shots

As the flu season peaks mid-winter, flu vaccinations become more important to prevent the influenza virus. At Our Medical, free flu shots are available without the need for an appointment. It's important to allow one week between receiving the flu vaccine and COVID-19 vaccine.

COVID-19 Vaccines

Our Medical has set-up COVID-19 vaccination clinics across medical centres in Sydney, Melbourne and Queensland.

The COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca is currently available for patients aged 60 and over. If you have had your first dose of AstraZeneca without any serious adverse events, you should receive a second dose of the same vaccine. Eligible patients for the AstraZeneca vaccine can book online at their preferred Our Medical location.

In July, the Pfizer vaccine will become available at many Our Medical sites. More information to follow.

Winter Aches and Pains

In the current cold climate, it is important to combat winter body aches and joint pains by maintaining a good lifestyle, including staying active and having a balanced diet.

Our Medical has on-site physiotherapy and other co-located allied health services, including dietetics. Medicare bulk billing may be available for patients on an enhanced primary care plan.
