Vaccinations play a vital role in keeping individuals and communities safe from preventable diseases. From childhood immunisations to adult boosters and seasonal flu shots, vaccines strengthen your immune system and reduce the spread of infections.
At Liverpool Plaza Discount Chemist, we are committed to supporting the health of our community by offering vaccination services and professional guidance on what’s recommended for you and your family.
Why Vaccinations Are Important
Vaccines don’t just protect the person receiving them—they also help create community-wide protection, often referred to as “herd immunity.” This reduces the chances of outbreaks and protects those who are more vulnerable, such as infants, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems.
Common Types of Vaccinations Available
Our pharmacy can provide advice and support on a wide range of essential vaccinations, including:
- Childhood Immunisations – Protecting against diseases like measles, mumps, rubella, whooping cough, and polio.
- Influenza (Flu) Vaccination – Recommended yearly, especially for children, the elderly, and those with chronic conditions.
- COVID-19 Vaccination & Boosters – Helping reduce severe illness and community transmission.
- Travel Vaccinations – Protection against diseases such as hepatitis A, typhoid, and yellow fever, depending on your destination.
- Adult & Senior Boosters – For tetanus, diphtheria, shingles, and pneumonia.
What to Expect When Getting Vaccinated
When you come in for your vaccination, our trained pharmacists will:
- Review your vaccination history and health needs
- Provide clear information on the vaccine and any possible side effects
- Administer your vaccination safely and professionally
- Advise on follow-up doses, if required
Safety and Side Effects
Vaccines used in Australia are thoroughly tested for safety and effectiveness. Most side effects are mild and temporary, such as a sore arm, fatigue, or mild fever. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and our pharmacists are trained to provide appropriate aftercare and guidance.
