Managing Your Health with COVID-19 in Our Community

07/01/2022

As we get closer to the border opening, Glen Forrest Medical Centre would like everyone to consider and plan for possible changes to your regular doctor’s visits.

Whilst we will be open, Telehealth appointments (phone/video) will become a more regular occurrence.
If you (or your doctor!) have any symptoms (cough, cold, fever, sore throat or gastro) a Telehealth appointment will be your first point of contact with your doctor.
If you require a script or request form the doctor will send a digital version to your mobile.

Do you, family members, friends and neighbours have the technology available to do this?
Do you need to have a plan in place for someone who doesn’t?

Another thing to consider is does your usual pharmacy accept electronic scripts and if they do not, find another one that will be able to.

If you have any concerns please discuss with reception or your doctor at your next visit.

Children’s COVID-19 Immunisation Clinics

We are commencing COVID-19 immunisations for 5 – 11 year olds on Tuesday 11 January 2022.

Our clinics will run between 3-5pm on Tuesdays and Thursday initially.

Here at Glen Forrest Medical Centre, we will be using the Pfizer vaccine, as approved by the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) and ATAGI (Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation)

The dose of the Pfizer vaccine for 5 – 11 year olds is one-third the dose of the adult formulation.
The interval for the two doses in 5 – 11 year olds is recommended to be eight weeks.

Booking for the first dose can be done online via this website, you will have the second dose booked when you arrive for your first dose.

**Bookings will be made available once we have vaccine supplies.

If you have lots of queries regarding this immunisation for your child(ren) then please make a separate appointment with one of our doctors prior to booking your immunisation clinic appointment, we are happy to discuss this with you to ensure informed consent.

Booster Clinics for COVID-19 Immunisation

As Western Australia is opening up to the outside world on Saturday 5 February 2022, Glen Forrest Medical Centre is gearing up for a dynamic month of booster immunisations in January 2022!

For those patients of GFMC who had their initial vaccines here, you will automatically be sent an appointment date and time for your booster vaccination, please keep an eye out for an SMS or in your HotDoc appointments.
Please only ring if the time does not suit you and you need it changed.

For those patients of GFMC who received their initial vaccines elsewhere, you are able to book online (preferably) or call to make a Booster clinic appointment.

We are administering the Pfizer vaccine for the Booster immunization.

Thank you for your patience and understanding and we are looking forward to seeing you soon.
