COVID-19 in 2025:
It's not over yet.
Unfortunately there is still a lot of Covid virus in our community. If you have a cough or sore throat please get a Covid test before visiting the clinic, and wear a mask.​ This is to protect our staff. We can't help you if we get sick ourselves!
Testing for Covid
​
Triple test kits are now freely available from chemists, which test not just for Covid but RSV, and Influenza B. We recommend you use these tests to help determine your best treatment, if you are suffering from respiratory symptoms, sore throat, fever etc
How you can protect yourself and your family
• Get a booster every 6-12 months
• wear a mask in crowded places (esp. if you or others are coughing)
• do a RAT/PCR test if you have symptoms
• vulnerable people (over 50 with complications) should consider antiviral treatment once Covid confirmed.
About vaccination against Covid
• Australia has one of the highest Covid vaccination rates & the lowest death rates from the pandemic in the world
• to maintain immunity, you must BOOST your vax every 6-12 months
• vaccination may not stop you getting Covid but will greatly reduce your symptoms, speed up recovery and prevent 'long Covid' - ongoing exhaustion, brain fog, aches and pains or more serious permanent damage from this virus.
Remember to get a preventative vax if your over 60, pregnant, or have chronic health problems
