Glenorchy City Council provides immunisation services to help protect the health and wellbeing of the local community. Immunisation is a safe and effective way to prevent the spread of serious infectious diseases and protect people of all ages.

Council works in partnership with State and Federal health programs to deliver vaccines under the National Immunisation Program (NIP).

Council immunisation clinics

Council operates community immunisation clinics where eligible residents can receive vaccines provided through the National Immunisation Program.

Vaccines available through Council clinics may include immunisations for:

• Infants and young children
• Secondary school students
• Pregnant women
• Adults and older people
• Eligible high-risk groups under current NIP programs

Vaccines offered may change over time in line with updates to the National Immunisation Program Schedule and public health advice.
