Free Vaccinations

Free Vaccinations at Burslem Medical Centre

At Burslem Medical Centre, we believe prevention is better than cure — and we’re committed to protecting our community with accessible, no-cost vaccinations for eligible patients.

✅ Current Free Flu Vaccine (May–June of each year)

As part of the WA Department of Health Free Influenza Vaccine Program, everyone aged 6 months and older can now receive the flu vaccine free of charge, even if you don’t have a Medicare card.

Eligible groups include:

• Children aged 6 months to 11 years

• Adults aged 65 and over

• People with medical risk factors (5–64 years)

• Those experiencing homelessness or in congregate living

• All visitors and temporary residents — even without Medicare!
  

Participating clinics and pharmacies must not charge for the vaccine. Some GPs may charge a consultation fee — but at Burslem Medical Centre, we aim to keep your care affordable and transparent.
