Cold and Flu Update
Thank you to all for respecting our clinic policies to keep everyone safe from cold and flu. It is still very important that anyone with respiratory symptoms including sore throat, running nose, loss of taste or smell, fever, sore ears or sinus pain, DO NOT ENTER the clinic as we have a duty to protect other vulnerable patients in the waiting room.
Patients with respiratory conditions should book their appointments by phone, not online. The treating doctor will decide if it is suitable to conduct the consultation inside the clinic, or remain in the carpark, depending on the clinical situation. On arrival at the clinic, patients should call to inform clinic staff of their arrival and remain waiting in the car until advised by their doctor that they can enter the building. Respiratory patients are required to wear a mask when entering the clinic.
While masks are now not mandatory inside the waiting room, they are recommended for vulnerable individuals.
Telehealth appointments are available for patients who are too unwell to come into the clinic and those patients that have tested positive to Influenza or COVID.

Magill Family Practice continues to provide COVID vaccination boosters to patients aged 12 years and over.

- All adults age 75 years or over receive booster doses of a COVID-19 vaccine every 6 months.
- Adults aged 65-74 years without severe immuno-compromise are recommended further doses of a COVID-19 vaccine every 12 months, or 6-monthly based on a risk-benefit assessment.
