We coordinate the delivery of national and state immunisation programs with vaccine service providers including General Practices, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health services and some community pharmacies.
Our team delivers free community immunisation clinics and the School Immunisation Program on the Gold Coast.
Our goal is to maintain and improve vaccination rates to minimise vaccine-preventable disease in our community. We provide services for all community members, including vulnerable groups.
The Gold Coast Public Health Unit only provides advice for vaccines listed on the Immunisation Schedule Queensland. For specific travel medicine advice, please see a Travel Medicine specialist.
