COVID-19 immunisation service changes
Our immunisation teams have have health screening measures in place for your appointment. Only one caregiver and a child can attend an immunisation appointment. Extended family, siblings and partners are asked not to attend appointments at the moment.
These safety measures help us continue this service, and protect families and the City of Ballarat healthcare workforce.
The City of Ballarat does not provide childhood flu vaccinations or childhood COVID-19 vaccinations.
