We are pleased to advise that Monash Health SEPHU is now offering walk-in vaccinations for children aged 5 to 11 and people aged 12 years and above at our Sandown and Cranbourne vaccination centres. In addition, the Frankston Community Vaccination Hub is also offering walk-in appointments for anyone aged 5 years and above.

The following vaccination clinics now offer walk-in appointments:

  • Dandenong Plaza Vaccination Clinic, 7 days a week from 9am to 4pm

More detail about our vaccination clinics is available here.

Please note, walk-in lines may close early due to demand. Bookings are still encouraged to avoid disappointment which can be made online or by calling the Coronavirus Hotline on 1800 675 398 between 8am and 8pm, 7 days a week.

If you are aged 16 years or over and you had your second dose 3 or more months ago, you are due for your third dose now.

If you have tested positive to COVID-19, you are able and encouraged to get a COVID-19 vaccine – including a third dose – as soon as you feel better (able to return to normal activities) and after you have completed 7 days of isolation.

A COVID-19 infection will provide some natural immunity, however it will decrease over time. Vaccination is important to get maximum protection against further COVID-19 infection.
