Walk-in COVID vaccinations for children now available

We are pleased to advise that Monash Health is now offering walk-in vaccinations for children aged 5 to 11 and people aged 12 years and above at our Sandown and Cranbourne vaccination centres.

Employees can now walk in with their children, in addition to household members aged 12+ years, at any of the below vaccination clinics and receive priority access to a COVID vaccination:

  • Sandown Racecourse Vaccination Centre, 7 days a week from 9am to 4pm
  • Cranbourne Turf Club Vaccination Centre, 7 days a week from 9am to 4pm
  • Dandenong Plaza Vaccination Clinic, 7 days a week from 9am to 4pm

COVID-19 vaccination bookings are also available at Clinic D, Monash Medical Centre for household members, including families and children, of employees.

Employees can book an appointment for their household members at MMC by calling our COVID-19 Vaccination Hotline on (03) 8572 2156. The Hotline is open 8:00am to 4:30pm, Monday to Friday.

If you are aged 16 years or over and you had your second dose 3 or more months ago, you are due for your third dose now.

If you have tested positive to COVID-19, you are able and encouraged to get a COVID-19 vaccine – including a third dose – as soon as you feel better (able to return to normal activities) and after you have completed 7 days of isolation.

A COVID-19 infection will provide some natural immunity, however it will decrease over time. Vaccination is important to get maximum protection against further COVID-19 infection.
