Flu Shot Manly: Protect Yourself This Flu Season with Your Local GP

As flu season arrives in Manly, now is the ideal time to organise your annual flu vaccination. Influenza can lead to serious illness, time off work, and complications, especially for young children, older adults, and those with underlying health conditions.

At South Steyne Medical Centre, we offer safe, convenient, and personalised flu vaccinations delivered by experienced GPs and practice nurses – right here in the heart of Manly.

At South Steyne Medical Centre, private flu vaccinations are available for $25. Government-funded flu vaccines are available for eligible patients, including children under 5 years of age and adults aged 65 years and over. Children aged 2 to 4 years may also be eligible for the new FluMist® nasal flu vaccine, which is administered as a gentle nasal spray rather than an injection.

Regular patients of the clinic may be able to book directly with the nurse for their flu vaccination, with the nursing team arranging the required treatment room request with the doctor. New patients to the clinic will generally require an appointment with a GP prior to vaccination.

👉 Book your flu shot today through HotDoc.

📱 Make a booking over the phone or via email.

Why Get Your Flu Shot at a GP Clinic in Manly?

Personalised Medical Care

Your GP understands your medical history, medications, and overall health, allowing them to provide tailored advice and ensure the flu vaccine is appropriate for you.

This is particularly important for patients with:

  • Chronic conditions
  • Pregnancy
  • Allergies or previous vaccine reactions

A Valuable Health Check Opportunity

Your flu vaccination appointment can also be a chance to:

  • Discuss any new or ongoing health concerns
  • Review medications or treatment plans
  • Stay up to date with preventative care

Family-Friendly Flu Vaccinations

At South Steyne Medical Centre, we make it easy for families to stay protected:

  • Book multiple family members
  • Comfortable, welcoming environment
  • Care for children, adults, and older patients

Experienced and Trusted Care

All vaccinations are administered by trained GPs and nurses, ensuring a high standard of care and clinical oversight.

Flu Vaccines in Manly

Flu vaccinations are available at a range of local healthcare providers across Manly.

If you are specifically looking to have your flu shot at a pharmacy, we recommend our local partner Manly Community Pharmacy.

Who Should Get a Flu Shot?

Flu vaccination is recommended for:

  • Children aged 6 months and older
  • Adults of all ages
  • Pregnant women
  • Patients with chronic medical conditions
  • Adults over 65

Some patients may also be eligible for government-funded flu vaccines depending on age and risk factors.

The Department of Health offers some great resources regarding influenza vaccinations.

When Should You Get Your Flu Vaccine?

The best time to get your flu shot in Manly is before peak flu season, typically in early autumn.

However, vaccination at any time during the season still provides protection.
