Influenza Vaccination
Influenza can be a very serious disease, and yearly flu immunisation is recommended for everyone aged 6 months and over. Some people are more at risk of complications from the flu and are eligible for free vaccination. The flu vaccine is strongly recommended and free under the National Immunisation Program for people most at risk of complications from influenza, including:
- People 65 years and over
- Pregnant women (at any stage during pregnancy)
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 6 months and over
- Children 6 months to less than 5 years
- People 6 months and over with certain medical conditions
If you are not eligible for a free vaccine, it is available at a cost of $20. It is recommended that you be vaccinated from April onwards, to be protected before the influenza season, which is usually June to September. However, it is never too late to get vaccinated as influenza can spread all year round.
Wicklow Avenue Medical Centre has a number of flu clinics available during April and May, including some Saturday and evening clinics. Please call the clinic on 9725 1244, to make an appointment.
Reception Staff Issues
Many reviewers have expressed dissatisfaction with the reception staff, citing rudeness, bluntness, and a lack of compassion. Some have reported being belittled, condescended to, and even hung up on while trying to book appointments or ask questions. This has led to frustration and a sense of dismissal among patients.
Long Wait Times and Booking Issues
Several reviewers have mentioned long wait times and difficulty booking appointments, with some being told that they cannot book with a specific doctor due to limited availability. This has led to feelings of inconvenience and frustration among patients.
Positive Experiences with Doctors
On the other hand, many reviewers have praised specific doctors at the practice, such as Dr. Melanie Littler, Dr. Bullas, and Dr. Pardeep Chabra, for their kindness, compassion, and excellent care.
Fees and Charging Practices
Some reviewers have expressed concern over the practice's fees and charging practices, feeling that they are excessive and money-driven.
