Message from the Chief Executive
We are very pleased to announce the opening of Monash Health’s first community orientated high-volume COVID-19 vaccination centre in Cranbourne on Tuesday 4 May. This is a key milestone in our fight against COVID-19. The clinic will offer the AstraZeneca vaccine, with bookings now open, so if you have not received your COVID-19 vaccination and live locally, this is an excellent opportunity to get vaccinated. We also encourage you to invite friends and family who may wish to book in now.
Location and opening hours
The new centre is located at the Cranbourne Turf Club and will be open 9:00am to 5:00pm, every day. There is plenty of free parking on-site with signage to direct visitors every step of the way. You can find more information on how to find the centre here.
How to book an appointment
Please remain mindful that, while bookings are open now, the centre will not open until Tuesday 4 May.
Although walk-ins are accepted between 9.00am and 3.00pm daily, to avoid delays or disappointment, we highly recommend booking an appointment before attending the centre.
To book please call 1800 675 398. As you progress through the call, select option 1, then option 1, then option 1.
More information
You can find out about the Cranbourne COVID-19 vaccination centre and access resources in a number of languages on the new Monash Health South East Public Health Unit website.
Monash Health will be opening additional high-volume COVID-19 vaccination centres in the coming weeks to continue our goal of protecting our community and those we care for from COVID-19. These centres will be open to employees and to the community.
I want to thank the teams who have worked tirelessly to establish the new vaccination centre and continue to strive to ensure COVID-19 vaccination is available to our community.
This marks a significant step in protecting our community and helping return to the way of life we know and cherish.
Thank you.
