Please note important information regarding timing intervals between vaccines:

The preferred minimum interval between the Flu vaccine or other vaccines and COVID-19 vaccine in 2021 is 7 days. This approach may reduce the likelihood of overlapping adverse events following immunisation. 

If you are planning to book in for your COVID-19 vaccine, please seek advice from your Pharmacist, GP or immunising health care professional about the most appropriate time to make your appointment, so the minimum interval of 7 days from your other vaccines can be observed.

Approved pharmacies in QLD, NSW and SA are able to provide the Vaxzevria (AstraZeneca) vaccine to eligible people aged 18 years and over or the Spikevax (Moderna) or Comirnaty (Pfizer)  vaccine to eligible people aged 12 and over.
Currently, the Department of Health advise mRNA vaccines (such as the Spikevax/Moderna vaccine or the Comirnaty/Pfizer vaccine) are preferred if you are aged 12-59. 

Please check availability via the booking links or direct with your local Star Discount Chemist.

You will need to provide consent when your child attends the Star Discount Chemist COVID-19 Vaccination clinic.
Download and complete the consent form for your child and bring this along to your child’s appointment.
If you are unable to attend the appointment, send the form along with your child and a responsible person aged over 18 years.
You will need to be available via telephone at the time of your child’s appointment to confirm consent with our vaccinating Pharmacist.

For people who have already been vaccinated with their first dose of the Vaxzevria (AstraZeneca) or the Spikevax (Moderna) COVID-19 vaccine, we encourage you to book your appointment for your second dose.

• You may be eligible for a COVID-19 booster dose if you:

  • are 5 years and older, and
  • it has been 6 months or longer since your last dose of COVID-19 vaccine or you had a case of COVID-19. 

  Booster doses are not mandatory, however they are recommended to maintain immunity against COVID-19.

Benefits of a booster dose

• The primary schedule doses of COVID-19 vaccine provide very good protection, especially against severe disease.
  
  
• A booster dose will make sure the protection from the primary schedule is even stronger and longer lasting, and should help prevent spread of the virus.
  
  
• A booster dose increases your protection against infection with the virus that causes COVID-19, severe disease or dying from COVID-19.
•  

A booster dose will continue to protect you, your loved ones and your community against COVID-19.

Booster doses are free for everyone
