COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic

Altona North Respiratory Clinic is a project of Cirqit Health, run through Altona North Medical Group and Circle Health.

In March 2021 Altona North Respiratory Clinic (ANRC) began preparation to open a COVID-19 Vaccination clinic and first doses were administered soon after on March 22. Transferring the processes developed in the COVID testing Clinic, including strong infection control principles, ANRC has been able to setup a successful vaccination clinic that can administer over 120 vaccines in a half-day clinic while continuing to provide COVID testing and consultations for symptomatic patients.

As a Commonwealth COVID-19 vaccination provider we provide free vaccinations to anyone aged 40 years or older as well as those who fall within government priority groups.

We understand that continually changing guidelines, along with mixed messaging, may have caused confusion throughout the vaccination rollout. Our clinic will continue to adhere to ATAGI recommendations. To receive vaccination at our clinic, please adhere to the guidelines listed below:

You can check your eligibility here but please note:

– We will re-confirm your eligibility on arrival. We are not able to vaccinate anyone who falls outside current age criteria or priority groups listed.

– The vaccine you receive is based on your age, and on advice from ATAGI:

– AstraZeneca is reserved for anyone aged over 60.

– Pfizer is used for those under 60 (who meet criteria).

– You must receive two doses of the same vaccine. We cannot provide a second dose of a different vaccine from your first.
