  • set up your Medicare online account if you're enrolled in Medicare, but don't have Medicare linked to myGov.

  • get an Individual Health Identifier (IHI), if you're not eligible for Medicare

  • you are close contact of someone with COVID-19, or

  • you are in quarantine.

​

If you have had another vaccine, for example the influenza vaccination, in the 7 days before your COVID-19 vaccine appointment.  Please let us know as we may need to reschedule your appointment.
