Which vaccines are free?
Vaccines under the National Immunisation Program (NIP) are free for eligible people with, or eligible for, a Medicare card, and some are free through Queensland Government programs. If a vaccine is free for you, we give it completely free, with no service fee. Eligibility depends on your age, pregnancy, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander status and some medical conditions. The main groups are:
- Flu: pregnant women, people aged 65 and over, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with certain medical conditions, and children aged 6 months to under 5 (we vaccinate from age 5, so younger children can see a GP at Help Medical). Queensland’s free flu program for everyone ran from 1 March to 30 September 2026.
- COVID-19: since 1 October 2026, people aged 75 and over (2 doses a year), people aged 65 to 74 (1 dose a year), Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 50 to 74, and adults aged 18 to 64 with a severely weakened immune system. Anyone else can pay for a dose privately.
- Whooping cough: pregnant women, ideally between 20 and 32 weeks of each pregnancy.
- RSV: pregnant women from 28 weeks (ideally by 36 weeks), people aged 75 and over, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 60 and over.
- Shingles: people aged 65 and over, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 50 and over, and people aged 18 and over with certain conditions that severely weaken the immune system, such as a stem cell or organ transplant, a blood cancer or advanced HIV.
- Pneumococcal: people aged 65 and over, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 25 and over, and people with certain medical conditions. Most need just one dose.
- Teens and young adults: catch-up vaccines for people under 20, HPV for people under 26, and meningococcal B for Queensland residents aged 15 to under 20.
- Measles, mumps and rubella: anyone born in or after 1966 without records of 2 doses (a Queensland Government program).

Picking up a vaccine for your doctor to give?
If your doctor gives you a prescription for a vaccine, we can fill it here. Vaccines need to stay cold (between 2°C and 8°C), so the easiest way is to book your doctor’s appointment first, then collect the vaccine on your way and take it straight there. If you can’t go straight there, we’re happy to keep it in our pharmacy fridge until you can. Many of the vaccines on this page can also be given here by our pharmacists, so it’s worth asking whether yours is one of them.
Which vaccines do I need for overseas travel?
It depends on where you’re going. Some travel vaccines need several doses or take time to work, so start planning 6 to 8 weeks before you fly if you can. See our travel health page, or book a travel consultation online. Our destination guides cover Bali, Thailand and Vietnam and Japan.
Starting uni or a health placement?
Students aged 15 to 24 living in residential colleges are recommended meningococcal ACWY and B vaccines, and health students need proof of protection against measles, chickenpox, whooping cough and hepatitis B before clinical placements. Start early, as some courses take months. See vaccines for uni students.
Which vaccines are recommended in pregnancy?
Whooping cough, flu and RSV vaccines are recommended during pregnancy to protect you and your baby in the first months of life, and all three are free under the NIP. Talk to your pharmacist, GP or midwife about timing, then walk in or book a time with us.
What other health services do you offer?
Our pharmacists also offer contraception consultations, emergency contraception, UTI treatment, sick leave certificates and help to quit smoking. See our women’s health page, or all of our pharmacy services.
Common questions
Do I need to book a vaccination?
No. Walk in any day we’re open and scan the QR code at the counter to join the queue. If you’d rather pick a time, book online.
Is there a service fee for free government vaccines?
No. If a vaccine is free for you under the National Immunisation Program or a Queensland Government program, we give it completely free. Bring your Medicare card and we’ll check your eligibility. See which vaccines are free in 2026.
Is the COVID-19 vaccine still free?
Only for some people. Since 1 October 2026 it’s free for people aged 65 and over, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 50 to 74, and adults aged 18 to 64 with a severely weakened immune system. Anyone else can choose to pay for a dose privately.
Do you give rabies, dengue, yellow fever or polio vaccines?
No, not at the moment. If your trip calls for one of these, we’ll point you to a GP or travel clinic. Yellow fever vaccine is only given at approved yellow fever vaccination centres.
How much does the shingles vaccine cost?
It’s free under the National Immunisation Program for people aged 65 and over, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 50 and over, and people aged 18 and over with certain conditions that severely weaken the immune system, such as a stem cell or organ transplant, a blood cancer or advanced HIV, with no service fee. If you’re not eligible, a private fee applies: you’ll see the current price when you book online, or ask us in store.
Can I have more than one vaccine at the same visit?
Often, yes. Tell us what’s due and your pharmacist will check which vaccines can be given together.
What if I feel unwell on the day?
A mild cold usually isn’t a problem. If you have a fever, wait until you’re well. Not sure? Call us and ask.
Are there side effects?
A sore arm, tiredness or a mild temperature for a day or two are common. If you’re worried about any reaction after leaving the store, contact your GP. In an emergency, call 000.
How long does a vaccination take?
Allow about 20 minutes. The vaccination itself is quick, and we’ll ask you to stay in store for 15 minutes afterwards. Walk in, or book a time that suits.
Will my vaccination be recorded?
Yes. Every vaccination we give is recorded on the Australian Immunisation Register, so your GP and your myGov immunisation history stay up to date.
