Immunisation

Immunisation is a simple, safe and effective way of protecting against harmful diseases.

Our immunisation program offers vaccinations listed under the National Immunisation Program Schedule and operates within the National Health and Medical Research Council (NH&MRC) guidelines. 

The National Immunisation Program (NIP) Schedule outlines which immunisations should be given from newborns to adults. Vaccines through the NIP are free for eligible people. Individuals aged 10 to 19, refugees and humanitarian entrants aged 20 and over are now eligible to receive free catch-up vaccines.

For more information on when to get vaccinated, eligibility and catch-up vaccinations, please visit Immunisation.

You can see the Queensland immunisation schedules on the Queensland Health website.

The community we live in influences our health and through immunisation, we can mitigate disease and increase health and wellbeing. Our Immunisation strategy 2022 - 2025 (PDF 230 MB) defines key directions and actions for us that will contribute to positive outcomes for our city.

For more information about immunisation, please call us on 07 3412 3412.

Community immunisation clinics

We run weekly immunisation clinics across the city. These clinics offer all vaccinations listed on the National Immunisation Schedule. Vaccines are also available to purchase.

Book an appointment

We have transitioned to an online booking system for our Immunisation clinics. As our clinics are busy and often reach capacity, it is essential to register and make a booking on the Vaxapp system in order to ensure you are able to be seen. While we do accept walk ins, there are limited availabilities and if a clinic has reached capacity, walk ins will not be able to be seen and will be assisted in making a future booking.

You can book and manage your vaccination appointment online using VaxApp - an immunisation management platform we are using to improve our service delivery. To make a booking, first create an account by visiting VaxApp.

Book vaccination appointment

Using VaxApp, you can:

  • create an account and manage your profile
  • book and manage individual and family appointments online
  • provide digital consent during the booking process, which reduces wait time when you arrive
  • receive reminders about your booking, and future appointment bookings.

For more information, see Vax App frequently asked questions.

If you need help making an appointment, email our immunisation team on immunisation@logan.qld.gov.au or call us on 07 3412 3412.

Fighting flu starts with you! 

Influenza is a common viral infection that affects people of all ages. While it can be a mild disease for some, it can also cause very serious illness in otherwise healthy people. It can lead to hospitalisation and can cause death. Vaccination is the safest way to protect yourself and others from influenza. 

Everyone six months and older is recommended to get an influenza (flu) vaccine each year. The flu vaccine not only protects you, but it also can help protect those around you. It is provided for free for people at high risk of influenza. See below for our eligibility criteria. If you are not deemed to be high risk, there is a cost of $12 per dose.

Book to receive your vaccination via VaxApp. The Influenza Vaccine is safe, effective and recommended for children six months and over. 

Influenza Vaccine is free for:

  • people aged 65 years and over
  • pregnant women (at any stage of pregnancy)
  • children aged 6 months to less than 5 years
  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (aged 6 months and over)
  • people 6 months and over with certain medical conditions listed in the table below.
Category Vaccination strongly recommended for individuals with the following conditions
Cardiac disease  Cyanotic congenital heart disease, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease
Chronic respiratory conditions Severe asthma, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, suppurative lung disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic emphysema
Chronic  neurological conditions Hereditary and degenerative CNS diseases, seizure disorders, spinal cord injuries, neuromuscular disorders

The vaccine is free for Indigenous children under 2 years of age and people with specific medical conditions. For all other infants, children, adolescent and young adults wishing to be vaccinated, the vaccine can be purchased for $99 per dose from any of our Community Immunisation Clinics. 

Multiple doses may be required and the vaccine can be administered at the same time as other vaccines listed on the National Immunisation Schedule (from six weeks of age).

It is recommended to administer paracetamol to children less than two years of age approximately 30 minutes before receiving the Meningococcal B vaccine.

Information sheets

Immunisation records

The Australian Immunisation Register is a national register administered by Medicare. Historically, this register recorded vaccines given to children under 10 years of age. In 2016, it became a whole-of-life register.

Updating the Australian Immunisation Register

Vaccines administered by Logan City Council

All vaccines administered by Logan City Council Immunisation Team are recorded on the Australian Immunisation Register. 

If your immunisations (or your child’s immunisations) are not listed on the Australian Immunisation Register and you would like us to update your record, please email the immunisation team at immunisation@logan.qld.gov.au and include the following information:

  • full name and date of birth
  • Medicare number
  • school name (if high school student).

Vaccines administered overseas

If you or your child received vaccines overseas and would like these recorded on the Australian Immunisation Register, please email the immunisation team at immunisation@logan.qld.gov.au and include the following information:

  • full name and date of birth
  • Medicare number
  • copy of the immunisation record.

Requesting records

The quickest and easiest way to access your immunisation records is online. Log into your Medicare online account through myGov or the Express Plus Medicare mobile app.

If you would like a record of vaccines given only by Logan City Council, you will need to download and fill in the Immunisation records request form (PDF 196 KB). Send the completed form with a certified copy of your identification to Immunisation@logan.qld.gov.au. Your request will be processed within 14 days.

We must act in line with the Information Privacy Act 2009 and will not process your request without certified identification.

A certified copy of identification is a copy of an original identification document that has been verified as a true copy by an authorised witness. Suitable identification documents include your driver’s licence (copy of front and back), passport or birth certificate. Authorised witnesses include lawyers, Justices of the Peace or Commissioners for Declarations. The person witnessing the document will need to see your original identification document. 

If you don’t have a certified copy of an identification document, you can visit one of our customer service centres and a council officer can photocopy and validate your identification (such as your driver’s licence, passport or birth certificate).
