FAQs

What happens if I’ve had my first vaccination at Casey Hospital?

If you’ve had your first vaccination at Casey Hospital and have a booking for your second after Friday, you will be contacted directly, and your second dose booking will be transferred and managed by the St John of God team.

Can I go to another Monash Health vaccination clinic for my second dose?

If you are 50 or over and have an existing booking at Casey Hospital’s COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic and wish to be vaccinated at one of the Monash Health vaccination clinics, you can cancel the existing booking through the existing Monash Health channels and rebook at Moorabbin or Kingston.

I am under 50 and have had my first dose of AstraZeneca. Can I swap to Pfizer?

It is not possible to switch vaccines if you have received AstraZeneca as your first dose. You must receive your second dose to ensure immunity.

If you have had the first dose of AstraZeneca without an adverse reaction, it is safe to receive your second dose regardless of age.

I’m under 50 and have not had my first dose of vaccine. What do I do?

If you are under 50 and have not received the first dose of AstraZeneca, recent Government guidelines recommend you receive the Pfizer vaccine. You can make a booking at the Clayton or Dandenong clinics to receive the Government-recommended Pfizer vaccine.
