Keep up to date with your vaccinations

We offer vaccinations at all of our Chemistworks

Immunisation is a simple, safe and effective way of protecting people against harmful diseases before they come into contact with them. Immunisation not only protects individuals, but also others in the community, by reducing the spread of preventable diseases.

Vaccinations

About Vaccinations

Under NSW regulation and authorisation, NSW pharmacists who have undertaken appropriate training are able to administer the following vaccines that are subject to the age of the patient:

  • Diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (whooping cough) (dTpa)
  • Measles-mumps-rubella (MMR)
  • Influenza
  • COVID-19

Before 1 January 2019, NSW pharmacists could only administer the influenza vaccine to individuals aged 18 years and over. Changes to regulations have expanded the vaccines available from community pharmacists. The changes now make the influenza vaccine more readily available to people aged 5 years and over, as well as whooping cough and measles vaccines to people aged 16 years and over. This will be beneficial in areas where access to a GP may be limited. Grandparents and carers of young children and partners of pregnant women will also benefit with having access to the whooping cough vaccine before having contact with a newborn infant. Although the MMR vaccine is free for susceptible young adults from GPs, making the vaccine more readily available will benefit those who do not routinely attend a GP.

Yes. Pharmacists are required to complete a comprehensive training program which includes conducting a pre-vaccination assessment and management of any adverse event that may occur after vaccination. Pharmacists in NSW have been safely administering influenza vaccines since 2015 and no safety concerns have been identified.

Yes. However, the pharmacist can only administer the vaccine if they are certain that the person understands what they are receiving. The pharmacist must perform a pre-vaccination assessment before administering any vaccine.

Your GP will be able to look up your vaccination record via the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR). The AIR is a national register that records vaccines given to all people of all ages and information in the Register is accessible by authorised health professionals such as GPs, nurse immunisers and authorised pharmacists, as well as by individuals for their own records and those of their children.

Lice Treatment

We provide a revolutionary treatment for the eradication of head lice and their eggs. This revolutionary non-toxic lice treatment is the only one-and-done professional lice removal treatment.

About Lice Treatment

Head lice are tiny parasitic insects that live on the scalp. They do not inhabit pets or other animals. A louse (the singular form of lice) has six legs, each with a claw which grasps tightly onto hair. Head lice crawl easily between hairs, but they cannot fly or jump. Head lice only live on human blood and feed several times a day and they live close to the scalp to maintain their body temperature. Lice do not dig or burrow into the skin - they use their needle-like mouth parts to suck blood through the skin.

Head lice move by crawling; they cannot hop or fly. Head lice are spread by direct contact with the hair of an infested person. Anyone who comes in head-to-head contact with someone who already has head lice is at greatest risk.

We provide an effective and innovative treatment for the eradication of head lice and their eggs. FDA-cleared and TGA listed device kills lice and eggs through dehydration. This is a far healthier alternative to treating head lice with pesticides, herbal lice remedies, suffocation products or lice combs. The device kills lice and eggs through a specific combination of temperature, air flow, time and technique.

Using our exclusive, FDA-cleared and TGA registered medical device, this treatment takes about an hour and has been clinically proven to killing the living lice and 99.2% of their eggs (nits). We follow this up with a comb-out and pesticide-free topical rinse. Using this procedure, we guarantee you will leave our clinic lice-free.
