Residents can get all their immunisation appointments sorted before the holidays kick off, according to Yarra Ranges Council.

They’re taking bookings for our 2023 immunisation sessions in Lilydale, Upwey, Yarra Junction and Healesville.

Catch-up vaccination appointments can also be booked if your child has missed a vaccine they would normally have received through school.

The immunisations are being run out of these four venues:

The Yarraburn Centre, 1 Park Rd, Yarra Junction

Sherbrooke Family & Children’s Centre, 1443 Burwood Hwy, Upwey

Healesville Community Link, 110 River Street, Healesville

Japara Living & Learning Centre, 54-58 Durham Road, Kilsyth, Vic 3137

Please note Council does not administer COVID-19 vaccines.

Each venue is also:

Deep cleaned and sanitised after each immunisation session

Provided with additional personnel to ensure the process is efficient and unified

Designed to run all programs including the National Immunisation Program and Flu Program.

All staff working at the immunisation sessions will be wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), which includes a face mask. Staff will also be sanitising their hands between each client.
