Adult vaccination in Carindale, at every stage.
Adult vaccination in Carindale covers seasonal flu shots, boosters and catch-up doses for anyone who has fallen behind. We review your immunisation history first and explain exactly what you're due for.
Adult vaccines by age and life stage
Vaccines aren’t just for children. As an adult, the vaccines you need change with your age, health and life stage. In your 20s and 30s, it may be a measles catch-up or whooping cough booster before a baby arrives. In pregnancy, flu, whooping cough and RSV vaccines protect your newborn. From 50, a tetanus booster may be due, and from 65, free shingles and flu vaccines become available, with pneumococcal vaccine from 70.
At Carindale Doctors, we review your immunisation history on the Australian Immunisation Register, check what you’re eligible for for free, and explain what’s recommended. Most vaccines can be given on the day, and we’ll schedule any second doses so you’re fully protected.
In short: Carindale Doctors provides adult vaccinations inside Westfield Carindale at every life stage, including flu, whooping cough, measles catch-up, tetanus, shingles and pneumococcal vaccines. Many are free for eligible adults. We check your history first, Medicare rebates apply where eligible, and concession card holders receive a discount.

Adult vaccination that keeps up with you
Most adults aren’t sure which vaccines they’ve had or what they’re due for. Our Carindale GPs check your records and give you a clear list, so you can catch up without guessing or doubling up.

Vaccines adults commonly miss
These are the gaps we find most often in adult records:
- Free shingles vaccine: many people over 65 don't know they're eligible.
- Whooping cough booster: often overdue for grandparents of newborns.
- Measles: a second dose missed in childhood.
- Annual flu vaccine: skipped by busy adults and people with chronic conditions.
A quick review can show exactly what you need.
