COVID-19 VACCINATION HUB
As your trusted local healthcare partner, we have created this Hawthorne Clinic ‘COVID Vaccine Hub’ to help you find the most up-to-date, reliable information relating to the current vaccination program.
All of our GPs, nurses and admin staff have undertaken the appropriate training specific to this program. We all are working hard to help vaccinate our local community in a timely and safe manner.
This vaccination program is a HUGE logistical exercise for both the Australian Government as well as private businesses. The program will play an important role as one part of the overall plan in the fight against COVID-19.
If you are still unable to find answers to your queries from the resources provided, please give us a call on 07 3399 5444 or email us at hawthorneclinic@hawthorneclinic.com.au.
